Stat. § 216B.164, subd. 2a (c), for purposes of eligibility for net-metering in Minn. Stat. § 216B.164, subd. 3(d), is determined by, and measured at, the qualifying facility’s inverter or a power control system or supplemental device that controls production at the qualifying facility before the net-metered customer’s load?
