An Act amending Title 66 (Public Utilities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in restructuring of electric utility industry, providing for hosting capacity maps.
What changed between versions
Access to hosting capacity maps is now restricted to 'eligible persons,' defined as licensed engineers, certified solar professionals, and other energy industry practitioners, rather than being open to any person.
The commission's authority to establish reporting standards was strengthened from 'may' to 'shall,' requiring uniform standards for data format and map interface within nine months.
The preapplication report requirements were clarified to provide locational information to 'a person' proposing interconnection, removing ambiguity about who must receive this data.
A new definition of 'eligible person' was added, listing specific licenses and certifications (e.g., Pennsylvania Professional Engineer, Solar Professional) that qualify for map access.
The complaint process section was updated to apply specifically to 'an eligible person' who believes access was denied, aligning enforcement with the new eligibility criteria.
