Missouri’s commission rule (20 CSR 4240-20.065 (Net Metering) implementing RSMo §386.890 (Net Metering and Easy Connection Act)) does not bind municipal utilitys; City of Richland sets its own interconnection policy. We confirm its form on the first project. Municipal utilities and electric cooperatives must offer net metering under RSMo 386.890 (<=100 kW, same 30/90-day timelines, certification) and adopt similar interconnection policies/forms through their governing bodies; additional standards and insurance exemption criteria for >10 kW set by the local governing body.
