House Bill 2860 would set standards that residential and small commercial customers in many parts of Texas can rely on when considering the use of distributed energy at their homes and businesses. It would set clear requirements for solar leases, prevent cities from banning rooftop solar and would stop investor-owned utilities from charging unfair rates and fees for customers using solar. The bill should be amended to apply only to renewable energy and energy storage (not fossil fuel generators) and then passed out of committee.
