The Role of Net Metering in the Evolving Electricity System

Completed

Net metering is a billing mechanism reshaping the relationship between electricity customers and utilities. This Congressionally-mandated study for the Department of Energy will examine the medium-to-long term impacts of net metering on the electricity grid and consumers. The study will include a discussion of net metering planning and operating techniques, business models, and architectures, as well as electric service rate designs and new technology developments. The committee will assess net metering in the context of alternative transactional mechanisms and incentives, and evaluate its potential to contribute to a decarbonizing, equitable, and resilient electricity system.
