Under this bill, Utah's Public Service Commission must require electric utilities to offer an optional "time-of-use export pricing" plan to customers who generate their own electricity — such as homeowners with rooftop solar panels — and send their surplus power back to the grid. Under this type of plan, the credit a customer earns for that exported electricity varies depending on the time of day or real-time market conditions, rather than a flat rate. Participation is entirely voluntary, utilities must provide clear written disclosures before enrollment, and customers can switch back to their previous billing arrangement. The commission has one year from the bill's effective date to establish these tariff options. Solar customers who choose to participate could potentially earn higher credits by exporting electricity during peak demand periods, though earnings would be lower during times when the grid has more power than it needs.
