Bill	Solar Garden Net Metering Credits Stabilization	Current law requires an electric retail utility (utility) to offer a net metering credit as the means of purchasing output from a community solar garden (CSG) located within the utility's service territory and establishes the means of calculating the net metering credit. The act maintains that calculation if the CSG indicates to the utility that the CSG's subscribers' bill credits change annually. However, if the CSG indicates to the utility that the CSG's subscribers' bill credits remain fixed, the act provides a different calculation for determining the net metering credit. The public utilities commission shall allow a utility to recover costs incurred in implementing and maintaining the net metering credit billing systems.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2023A	HB 23-1137	Colorado HB 23-1137 (2023A)	bill		enacted	Alex Valdez Chris Hansen Dylan Roberts Meghan Lukens	9	13	2	2023-01-31T07:00:00+00:00	2023-04-17T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/78a74457-714c-473a-ba2e-f61eb530ec75	https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb23-1137	01964b6a33ad1b6647005d83eb03387bc645843b8bdf01b5c0e5fd25bad2eeee	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co

The public utilities commission shall allow a utility to recover costs incurred in implementing and maintaining the net metering credit billing systems.
