Overview
This bill creates a program overseen by the Michigan Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) to compensate customers and aggregators for providing grid services from their behind-the-meter renewable energy sources and demand response resources. The program aims to encourage greater use of these resources by ensuring they are fairly valued for services like improving grid reliability, reducing peak demand, and avoiding costly infrastructure investments. It also establishes requirements for program design, data collection, and consumer protections, and includes provisions for ongoing evaluation and potential adjustments based on federal regulations and legislative recommendations.
Key provisions
- Establishes a program for compensating behind-the-meter generators and demand response resources for grid services.
- Requires the MPUC to develop program requirements within a year of the bill's enactment.
- Mandates compensation based on publicly available utility marginal costs and covering the full value of grid services.
- Allows aggregators to participate in the program and be compensated for their services.
- Requires electric providers to file proposed program plans with the MPUC.
- Prohibits utility ownership of behind-the-meter generation and certain fees or requirements for participants.
- Requires aggregators to register with the MPUC and meet certain operational standards.
- Directs the MPUC to periodically review and report on the program's effectiveness.
