In a resolution, the ERC unveiled crucial amendments designed to fast-track the program's implementation and unlock easier access to renewable energy (RE) for qualified end-users.

One of the key amendments to the rules enables consumers to save and carry over their net-metering credits across current and future billing periods.

If the end-users' property, including their RE facility, is sold, the credits may now be transferred to the new owner, provided certain conditions are met, such as a written agreement from the original owner.
