Introduced by: W. Roscoe Reynolds | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Energy efficiency and demand response goals.  Establishes a goal that every investor-owned utility in the Commonwealth reduce the consumption by their retail customers in the Commonwealth, through implementation of energy efficiency programs, in 2025 by 19 percent compared to the consumption level currently projected for such year. The measure also establishes a goal that such utilities reduce their maximum peak demand in 2025 through their implementation of load-shifting and similar demand response programs to a level that is 26 percent less than the currently projected maximum peak demand for such year. The measure allows utilities to recover costs of designing and operating demand response and energy efficiency programs through a rate adjustment clause, and requires utilities to develop tariffs offering real-time variable rates.
