The net metering policy landscape continues to change as customer-sited generation expands. More states are shifting from traditional net metering to implement new rate structures. Over the last year, California, Arkansas, and North Carolina have adopted revisions to the policy. Net energy metering (NEM), which credits customer generators for grid-exported power, has been a key component of the policy framework to spur investment in customer-sited renewable energy facilities, including solar and energy storage systems.

The growing interest in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects driven by supportive policies and tax incentives has prompted state efforts to streamline permitting requirements, including securing primacy to regulate Class VI injection wells to sequester carbon dioxide. CCS involves the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants or industrial processes before they are released into the atmosphere for storage in subsurface geological formations.
