Specifically, the bill directs

  • the Department of Energy to establish model rules and procedures for interconnection and its associated costs, and for determining fees or rates for supplementary power, backup or standby power, maintenance power, and interruptible power supplied to facilities that operate combined heat and power technology and waste heat to power technology; and
  • the Environmental Protection Agency to create a voluntary grant program to encourage states to update state or local air permitting procedures to incorporate output-based emission standards.
