Origin 

In May 2007, the New Orleans City Council adopted net-metering rules that are similar to rules adopted by the Louisiana Public Service Commission (PSC) in November 2005. The City Council's rules require Entergy New Orleans, an investor-owned utility regulated by the city, to offer net metering to customers with systems that generate electricity using solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal or biomass resources. Fuel cells and microturbines that generate electricity entirely derived from eligible renewable resources are also eligible. 

System Size Limits

The City Council's rules apply to residential facilities with a maximum capacity of 25 kilowatts (kW)

Municipal electric utilities serving more than 40,000 customers in Colorado must offer an optional green-power program that allows retail customers the choice of supporting emerging renewable technologies. The renewable energy credits (RECs) generated by the resources are retired upon their sale to a customer, and may not be used for compliance with Colorado's renewable portfolio standard.

Grays Harbor PUD provides incentives for residential customers to increase the energy efficiency of homes which choose to participate in the Residential Energy Efficiency Program.

In 2003 San Antonio's municipal electric utility CPS Energy established a renewable portfolio goal, which was increased in 2008 to meeting 20% of its electrical peak demand with renewable energy by 2020; CPS met the goal in 2017. (CPS Energy was not subject to the requirements of Texas's former renewable portfolio standard.) The City of San Antonio, under its 2019 Climate Action and Adaptation Plan, has greenhouse gas emissions targets of 41% reduction compared to 2016 levels by 2030 and 71% reduction compared to 2016 levels by 2040, which the utility has agreed to pursue.
