 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

 the next bill for service to the customer-generator for  the  net  elec-
 tricity  provided  at  the  same  rate  per  kilowatt hour applicable to
 service provided to other customers in the same service class  which  do
 not  generate  electricity  onsite,  except for [micro-combined heat and

 ment  customer-generators as described in subparagraph (ix) of paragraph
 (a) of subdivision one of this section, who  will  be  credited  at  the

 [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.
   § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
 it shall have become a law.
