English: Gatchalian also filed Senate Bill 485, An Act Enhancing The Implementation Of The Net-Metering Program, Amending For The Purpose Republic Act 9513, or The Renewable Act Of 2008. This proposed legislation, designed to foster increased investments in the renewable energy sector, seeks to remove the 100-kilowatt (kW) ceiling on generation facilities that can participate in the net metering program. Authorized under existing laws, net metering allows participants with their own RE facilities to feed power back into the grid and have their contribution to the common pool of power deducted from their consumption.
Filipino: Inihain din ni Gatchalian ang Senate Bill 485 o Act Enhancing The Implementation Of The Net-Metering Program, Amending For The Purpose Republic Act 9513, o The Renewable Act Of 2008. Ang panukalang batas na ito, na dinisenyo upang pasiglahin ang mas mataas na pamumuhunan sa sektor ng renewable energy, ay naglalayong alisin ang 100-kilowatt (kW) na ceiling sa generation facilities na maaaring lumahok sa net metering program. Sa ilalim ng mga umiiral na batas, pinapayagan ng net metering ang mga kalahok ng sarili nilang RE facilities na magbigay ng kuryente sa grid at ang kanilang kontribusyon sa common pool ng kuryente ay ibabawas mula sa kanilang pagkonsumo.
