54-15-105. No additional fee or charge without governing authority approval --
Exception. (1) An electrical corporation administering a net metering program may not charge a customer participating in the program an additional standby, capacity, interconnection, or other fee or charge unless the governing authority, after appropriate notice and opportunity for public comment: (a) determines that: (i) the electrical corporation will incur direct costs from the interconnection or from administering the net metering program that exceed benefits, as determined by the governing authority, resulting from the program; and (ii) public policy is best served by imposing a reasonable fee or charge on the customer participating in the net metering program rather than by allocating the fee or charge among the electrical corporation's entire customer base; and (b) after making its determination under Subsection (1)(a), authorizes the additional reasonable fee or charge. (2) If a cost of a net metering program is allocated among the electrical corporation's entire customer base, Subsection (1) may not be construed to prohibit an electrical corporation from charging a customer participating in the net metering program for that cost to the same extent that the electrical corporation charges a customer not participating in the program for that cost.
