Longitudinal adjustments to net metering in BEopt?

I've checked the forum and the help but see no answers to this: How is the user-specified net metering rate adjusted over the course of the modeling period? Is it increased with inflation? With retail rate escalation? In MA our net-metering is statutorily defined as 60% of retail. I can set that rate today, but that could all but evaporate after thirty years of inflation and escalations if the value is not also adjust annually to keep up with utility bill rates.
