Amends the Public Utilities Act. Provides that an electric utility must establish a "net metering" pilot program for its retail customers that own and operate a solar or wind electrical generating facility with a capacity of not more than 40 kilowatts located on the customer's premises and intended to offset part of the customer's electrical requirements. Requires separate pilot programs for residential and business customers. Provides that an electric utility that has conducted a net electrical energy metering pilot program for either its residential or business customers, or both, that was initiated before the effective date of this amendatory Act need only file a report of the results of the program with the Illinois Commerce Commission. Provides that the electric utility must report the results of the pilot program to the Illinois Commerce Commission by July 1, 2008. Requires the Commission to provide a summary and an analysis of the reports to the General Assembly by September 1, 2008. Amends the Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, and Coal Resources Development Law of 1997.
