is proposing a "net metering Net metering is a electricity policy for consumers who own, generally small, renewable energy facilities, such as wind or solar power, or uses vehicle-to-grid systems. "Net", in this context, is used in the sense of meaning "what remains after deductions" -- in this case, the " regulation, which would give credit to customers who generate their own power from renewable sources for excess electricity.

Currently, net metering is available for projects up to 50 kilowatts at the discretion of the local energy distribution companies. The new regulation will eliminate the inconsistencies and require that distributors permit net metering for all eligible projects that produce up to 500 kilowatts. Projects which generate energy from water, wind, biomass or solar power would be eligible.
