Indiana Utility Regulatory CommissionJuly 20212021 Q1 Net Metering Quarterly Reporting SummaryIndiana’s net metering rules became effective in March 2005 and established a minimumstandard for the net metering offering required of utilities. It also set out the programparticipation requirements for eligible customers and utilities.At the direction of the Indiana General Assembly, the Commission revised its rules in 2011 andraised the minimum standard offering by expanding the eligibility to more facilities and to allcustomer classes. At a minimum, as defined in 170 IAC 4‐4.2, a net metering customer is acustomer in good standing who owns and operates an eligible net metering energy resource1on their premises with a nameplate capacity2 of less than or equal to 1 MW. This capacity mustbe used primarily to offset all or part of the customer’s annual electricity requirements.Senate Enrolled Act 309 of 2017 directed the Commission to revise its rules to increase theavailability of net metering to an aggregate amount of nameplate capacity of 1.5% of a utility’ssummer peak load3 4. Further, of this amount of available capacity 40% is to be reserved forresidential customers and 15% for organic waste biomass facilities5. After these capacityreservations, an amount equivalent to 0.675% of summer peak load is available for non‐biomass commercial, industrial, and school customers6.In light of increasing net metering participation the Commission held an InformationalCollaborative meeting with stakeholders which led to the approval of General AdministrativeOrder 2019‐27. One directive from that Order called for investor‐owned utilities (IOUs) toprovide quarterly updates on their net metering participation.This report summarizes the net metering quarterly reports filed by each of the IOUs to reflectthe participation as of March 31, 2021.1Eligible net metering energy resources include wind, solar, hydro, fuel cells, hydrogen, organic waste biomass anddedicated crops powered generation [170 IAC 4‐4.2‐1(d) and IC 8‐1‐37‐4(a)(1)‐(8)].2Nameplate capacity is the full‐load continuous rating of a generator as designated by the manufacturer.3IC 8‐1‐40‐10 and IC 8‐1‐40‐12(a)(1).4The previous Commission rules required availability to an aggregate amount of nameplate capacity of 1% of autility’s summer peak load.5IC 8‐1‐40‐12(a)(2).6In this report we refer to this available capacity as the Non‐reserved Nameplate Capacity.7The Informational Collaborative Meeting was held on April 10, 2019, and GAO 2019‐2 was adopted on August 29,2019.
