Net metering and solar export
Matters if you pair rooftop solar with home charging.
- Status
- net billing
- Summary
- Indiana ended retail-rate net metering for the five large investor-owned utilities on July 1, 2022, under Senate Enrolled Act 309 (2017). Excess generation is now credited at the prior-year wholesale rate plus 25 percent, an Excess Distributed Generation (EDG) credit that runs roughly 70 to 80 percent lower than retail. Customers who interconnected before January 1, 2018 are grandfathered into full retail-rate net metering through July 1, 2047 under a 30-year grandfather provision; customers who interconnected between January 1, 2018 and July 1, 2022 are grandfathered through July 1, 2032.

Regulatory environment
Indiana has no ZEV mandate and no state EV purchase rebate. INDOT paused its Charging the Crossroads NEVI program in February 2025 pending federal review and resumed contracting after the Federal Highway Administration released revised NEVI guidance on August 11, 2025. The first round of 39 site awards is moving toward construction, with most projects expected to be energized by the end of 2026; INDOT has signaled a second round of awards for Q2 or Q3 2026. The state's large auto parts manufacturing sector continues transitioning to EV components, with Stellantis, Subaru, and Honda all operating major Indiana facilities.
