Customer-owned generation (net metering)

Net-metered capacity in Louisiana by technology, MW, with installations and energy sold back to the grid
Year	Photovoltaic (MW)	Battery or storage (MW)	All technologies (MW)	Installations	Energy sold back (MWh)
2021	152.9	0.1	152.9	28,934	6,287
2022	158.2	0.1	158.2	29,628	7,240
2023	182.7	0.0	182.7	32,452	6,834
2024	200.0	0.0	200.0	35,451	4,127
2025	236.4	0.0	236.4	37,068	8,052

Before 2023, EIA reported storage paired with photovoltaic inside the photovoltaic group; from 2023, batteries are their own group, paired with photovoltaic or not. Neither is added into photovoltaic here.

Net metering by sector, 2025
Sector	All technologies (MW)	Installations	Energy sold back (MWh)
Residential	221.0	35,972	7,814
Commercial	15.3	1,087	236
Industrial	0.1	9	3

Distributed generation that is not net metered

A different arrangement: customer-sited or utility-owned generation that is paid or credited some other way, or not at all. EIA reports it separately, and it is not added to the net metering figures.

Distributed capacity in Louisiana that is not net metered, MW
Year	Photovoltaic	Internal Combustion	All technologies (MW)
2021	2.4		2.4
2022	2.4		2.4
2023	2.4		2.4
2024	2.4	2.3	4.7
2025	2.4	2.3	4.7

We do not restate net metering rules, which change. The rules are with Louisiana Public Service Commission · the DSIRE policy database (NC Clean Energy Technology Center)

Community solar

The laboratory's list as of September 2026 has no community solar project serving customers in Louisiana.

These counts and capacities are our own sums of the laboratory's project list; its license keeps us from publishing a copy of the list itself. About the dataset
