Other Title: House Bill 2588
No full text"March 5, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Committee on Utilities, presented by Leo Haynos, Chief Engineer, Utilities Division, Kansas Corporation Commission.
This same testimony was presented before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Energy, Utilities, and Telecommunications, by Leo Haynos, Chief Engineer, Utilities Division, Kansas Department of Corrections on February 1, 2024.Neutral testimony concerning HB 2588. "The Bill provides needed clarification to the existing statute in terms of the point of demarcation between the customer and the utility, it establishes units of measurement used to define any transactions between the two parties, and it provides clarification on size limitations of customer installations. The Bill also will increase the amount of system-wide solar capacity from which a utility is required to purchase any power that is not consumed by the generator-customer. Taken together, the amendments to this Act should increase the opportunity for customers to install more systems in Kansas, and the systems could be larger than those being installed today. I note that while the Act and the proposed amendments establish requirements for the utility and its customers, the Act does not establish any requirements for the solar equipment installers that are selling and/or financing these equipment installations to homeowners."
