HB0183

Amends Wyoming net metering rules to increase generation capacity limits, allow meter aggregation, and require utilities to report on net metering capacity.

• Increases the generation capacity limits for net metering systems from previous amounts to 25 kilowatts per meter for residential use and 200 kilowatts per meter for nonresidential use. (W.S. 37-16-101(a)(viii)(B))
• Defines 'primary feeder' as a power line or facility that carries electricity directly from a substation to distribution transformers. (W.S. 37-16-101(a)(ix))
• Requires electric utilities to aggregate an additional meter with designated meters upon customer request if the meters are on the same premises, serve the same customer, use the same rate schedule, and are served by the same primary feeder. (W.S. 37-16-102(iv))
• Requires electric utilities to report annually to the Public Service Commission beginning July 1, 2026, on total installed kilowatt capacity of net metering systems and peak electric demand within their Wyoming service territory. (W.S. 37-16-102(v))
• Directs the Public Service Commission to forward reports to the joint corporations, elections and political subdivisions interim committee once any single electric utility's net metering capacity reaches 5% of that utility's peak demand. (W.S. 37-16-102(v))
