On September 4, 2008, Florida’s Public Service Commission (PSC) approvedthe state’s five investor-owned electric utilities’ standard interconnection agreements and related tariff revisions, as required by the net metering rule approved in March. The net metering rule promotes the development and interconnection of customer-owned renewable generation and minimizes costs for customers attempting to interconnect to their utility. It encourages the development of renewable generation by: (1) expanding the size of eligible systems from 10 kW to 2 MW; (2) expanding the type of eligible systems from solely photovoltaic to all renewable technologies; (3) expediting the interconnection of customer-owned renewable generation; and (4) allowing customers to offset consumption through net metering.
