Requires the chair of the public service commission create rules, regulations, policies, and procedures for the creation of a resilient electric vehicle charging system pilot program
What changed between versions
Definitions for generating stations and EV microgrids were simplified; the requirement for synchronous generators and the 1.5 megawatt capacity limit were removed.
Specific financial requirements, including a 50 megawatt program cap and a 'monthly cash out option,' were deleted.
The requirement to establish rules at 'commercial retail rate' was removed, and the pilot program now explicitly focuses on 'emergency response needs' instead.
The mandate for the chair to promulgate rules within 180 days was removed and replaced with a general instruction to create the program using 'existing financial resources'.
A new requirement was added for the Public Service Commission to submit a report by December 30, 2029, and the act now expires on April 1, 2030.
