amended to read as follows:
  (b)  In the event that the amount of electricity produced by a custom-
er-generator during the billing period exceeds the amount of electricity
used by the customer-generator, the corporation shall apply a credit  to

tricity provided at the  same  rate  per  kilowatt  hour  applicable  to
service  provided  to other customers in the same service class which do

ment customer-generators as described in subparagraph (ix) of  paragraph

[micro-combined heat and power or fuel cell customer-generators or] farm
waste  generating equipment customer-generators as described in subpara-
graph (ix) of paragraph (a) of subdivision one of this section shall  be
treated  for  ratemaking  purposes  as  a purchase of electricity in the
market that is includable in commodity costs.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
it shall have become a law.
