HB 2531 Electricity; SCC to conduct proceeding to determine appropriate energy conservation, etc.
Introduced by: Terry G. Kilgore | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Demand-side management, energy conservation, energy efficiency, and demand reduction. Directs the State Corporation Commission (SCC) to conduct a proceeding to determine achievable, cost-effective energy conservation and demand response targets that can be accomplished through demand-side management portfolios administered by generating electric utilities. The SCC is required to report to the Governor and the General Assembly by November 15, 2009. The measure also requires the SCC to approve a demand response program that is proposed by a certain generating electric utility or a qualified nonutility provider if certain conditions are satisfied. The Air Pollution Control Board, in consultation with the SCC and Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy, is required to adopt a general permit for certain generation facilities that participate in voluntary demand response programs. The measure also directs the Air Pollution Control Board to adopt a general permit or permits for the use of back-up generation, in order to allow emergency generation sources to operate during periods that the independent system operator has notified electric utilities that an emergency exists or may occur. HB 2000 is incorporated. SB 1348 is identical.
