AI Summary

  • Requires the Public Utilities Commission to adopt rules enabling government entities to purchase electricity in bulk loads through a process called "aggregation."

  • Allows aggregators to receive a single combined bill reflecting peak demands and total energy consumption across multiple facilities and agencies.

  • Permits aggregators to install renewable energy generating facilities on government-owned or other property and use net energy metering; utilities may adjust metering to account for energy losses and transportation costs for off-site facilities.

  • Grants aggregators free access to metering data, though aggregators must pay for equipment needed to access data multiple times per day.

  • Defines "aggregator" as any government entity that is not an electric utility company and purchases electricity in bulk; participation is voluntary and does not waive competitive procurement requirements.
