SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Public utilities; qualifying small power producers. Eliminates current language in Virginia's public service company statutes conditioning qualifying small power producers' exemption from regulation as public utilities on the requirement that they (i) produce no more than 20 megawatts of rated capacity and (ii) sell any retail output to no more than five nonresidential customers. The bill also requires regulated public utilities to provide open access to their transmission and distribution facilities for the purpose of retail electricity sales by qualifying small producers as defined in regulations adopted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (in connection with its implementation of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978).
