In December 2005, the passage of the federal Energy Policy Act created an opportunity<br />
for the PUC to re-evaluate its existing regulatory structure. The Commission is currently<br />
examining any barriers to distributed generation from local installations using nontraditional<br />
energy sources.<br />

Net Metering<br />
www.puco.ohio.gov/PUCO/Consumer/information.cfm?doc_id=346<br />
Net metering is available to customers of investor-owned electric utilities who generate<br />
power using qualifying energy systems. Eligible systems include fuel cells, solar thermal<br />
electric, photovoltaics, landfill gas, wind, biomass, hydroelectric and microturbines.<br />
There are no limits on fuel cell system size, but electric utilities are not required to offer<br />
net metering after total generating capacity of all enrolled customer-generators equals<br />
one% of the supplier’s aggregate customer peak demand.<br />
