AI Summary

  • Requires qualified utilities to approve use of their transmission or distribution systems within 60 days when contract customers request delivery of electricity from renewable energy facilities they select

  • Contract customers must have a minimum annual peak demand of 1 megawatt, though multiple metered locations may be aggregated to meet this threshold

  • Utilities must file a "Renewable Real Time Pricing Program" tariff within 90 days of the section's effective date, covering administrative costs, distribution, transmission, generation capacity, and supplemental energy services

  • Pricing and contract duration are determined through negotiation between the renewable energy facility owner and contract customer, with the utility acting as intermediary purchaser and reseller

  • Environmental attributes (such as renewable energy credits) remain with the facility owner unless otherwise specified by contract, and renewable energy facilities under this program are not classified as public utilities
