AI Summary

  • Allows customer-generators to carry over excess electricity credits indefinitely instead of receiving payment at avoided cost rates at year-end, with accumulated credits usable against future charges when generation falls below consumption.

  • Gives customer-generators the option to either receive annual payment at avoided cost for excess electricity or elect to aggregate credits indefinitely for future use.

  • Requires electric corporations and the Long Island Power Authority to provide an accounting of aggregated credits once every five years and issue payment at avoided cost for any remaining credits upon request.

  • Applies the indefinite credit carryover provision to both Public Service Law Section 66-j (most customer-generators) and Section 66-l (wind generation customers).

  • Takes effect January 1st of the year following enactment.
