Establish standards for distributed energy resource aggregators
This bill establishes rules for companies that group together smaller energy resources like solar panels, batteries, and energy efficiency measures to sell electricity in wholesale markets. It gives the state energy commission authority to oversee these aggregators to ensure grid safety and prevent customers from paying twice for the same energy services. The legislation requires utilities to create fair terms for how aggregators operate within their service areas and sets up a process for resolving disputes between aggregators, utilities, and customers. Additionally, the bill allows the commission to charge fees to cover the administrative costs of implementing these new regulations.
