The "Net Metering Protection Act" is designed to safeguard the autonomy of states and nonregulated electric utilities in establishing and enforcing net metering service standards. Its core provision explicitly prohibits any commission, board, or other entity created by Congress from preventing or obstructing such implementation or enforcement. This prohibition applies specifically when a State regulatory authority or nonregulated electric utility determines it is appropriate to implement the net metering standard as defined under section 111(d)(11) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. The bill's intent is to ensure that once a state or utility decides to adopt net metering policies, federal congressional entities cannot impede their execution, thereby preserving local control over these energy policies.
