Murkowski, Lisa [R-AK] Lisa Murkowski R AK N Energy Electric power generation and transmission Public utilities and utility rates State and local government operations Energy 00 2015-05-06 Introduced in Senate 2015-06-16T13:25:34Z This bill amends the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to define "distributed resource" as an electric power source connected directly to the distribution network or on the customer side of the meter.

State regulatory authorities shall by certain deadlines:

  • establish proceedings to examine the degree to which distributed resources contribute specified ancillary services, such as reactive supply, energy imbalance, and flexibility and ramping services, among others;
  • prescribe measures to ensure adequate ancillary services so that grid interconnection for distributed resources is safe, reliable, and efficient;
  • examine the effects of net metering and customer-owned distributed generation on resource planning of each electric utility, and
  • determine whether electricity rates established for net metering service are just and reasonable and not unduly preferential or discriminatory.
