(5) The right to know the rate at which the customer will be credited for electricity produced by the customer's distributed generation equipment and delivered to a public utility (as defined in IC 8-1-2-1).
(6) The right to know if a provider of distributed generation equipment insures the distributed generation equipment against damage or loss and, if applicable, any circumstances under which the provider does not insure against or otherwise cover damage to or loss of the distributed generation equipment.
(7) The right to know the responsibilities of a provider of distributed generation equipment with respect to installing or removing distributed generation equipment.
(b) The attorney general, in consultation with the commission, shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 that the attorney general considers necessary to implement and enforce this section, including a rule requiring written disclosure of the rights set forth in subsection (a) by a provider of distributed generation equipment to a customer.
