 Introduced  by  M.  of  A.  MAGNARELLI  -- read once and referred to the
   Committee on Energy
 
 AN ACT to amend the public service law and the public  authorities  law,
   in  relation  to creating a resilient electric vehicle charging system
   pilot program
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section  1.  The public service law is amended by adding a new section
 66-x to read as follows:
   § 66-X. RESILIENT ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SYSTEM PILOT PROGRAM.   1.
 FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION:
   (A)  "RESILIENT  CARBON  FREE  POWER GENERATION" SHALL MEAN ONLY THOSE
 GENERATING STATIONS WHICH ARE:
   (I) MANUFACTURED, INSTALLED, AND OPERATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH  APPLICA-
 BLE GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY STANDARDS;
   (II) CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM AND OPERATED IN CONJUNCTION WITH
 AN ELECTRIC CORPORATION'S TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM;
   (III)  OPERATED  IN  COMPLIANCE  WITH  ANY  STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS
 ESTABLISHED UNDER THIS SECTION;
   (IV) UTILIZE A SYNCHRONOUS  GENERATOR  WITH  BLACK  START  CAPABILITY,
 FREQUENCY CONTROL, AND DISCONNECT CAPABILITY; AND
   (V)  DO  NOT  INCLUDE  THE  ACTIVE USE OF FOSSIL FUELS AND HAVE A NAME
 PLATE CAPACITY OF 1.5 MEGAWATTS OR LESS.
   (B) "RESILIENT ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SYSTEM" SHALL MEAN  AN  ELEC-
 TRIC  VEHICLE  (EV) MICROGRID DESIGNED TO PROVIDE UNINTERRUPTED ELECTRIC
 SERVICE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING THROUGHOUT AN EXTENDED OUTAGE.
   (C) "EXTENDED OUTAGE" SHALL MEAN AN OUTAGE OF  THE  ELECTRIC  DISTRIB-
 UTION SYSTEM THAT CONTINUES FOR A PERIOD OF TWENTY-FOUR HOURS OR LONGER.
   (D)  "UNINTERRUPTED"  SHALL  MEAN  THAT THE RESILIENT ELECTRIC VEHICLE
 CHARGING SYSTEM GENERATES ELECTRICITY  THROUGHOUT  AN  EXTENDED  OUTAGE,
 WITH  THE  EXCEPTION  OF MOMENTARY INTERRUPTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSI-
 TIONS TO AND FROM GRID PARALLEL AND GRID-ISLANDED OPERATIONS.
   (E) "EV MICROGRID" IS A GROUP OF ENERGY GENERATING RESOURCES  WITH  AT
 LEAST  ONE  SOURCE  OF RESILIENT CARBON FREE POWER GENERATION AND ENERGY
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
              

                                                            LBD14221-02-4
 A. 9472                             2
 
 STORAGE WITHIN CLEARLY DEFINED ELECTRICAL  BOUNDARIES  THAT  ACTS  AS  A
 SINGLE  CONTROLLABLE  ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO THE GRID FOR THE PURPOSE OF
 ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING AND OTHER EMERGENCY RESPONSE NEEDS  DURING  AN
 EXTENDED  OUTAGE.  AN  EV  MICROGRID CAN CONNECT AND DISCONNECT FROM THE
 GRID TO ENABLE IT TO OPERATE IN BOTH GRID-CONNECTED OR ISLAND-MODE.
   2. THE COMMISSIONER SHALL PROMULGATE SUCH RULES, POLICIES, AND  PROCE-
 DURES  NECESSARY  AND  APPROPRIATE NO LATER THAN ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY DAYS
 FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS SECTION FOR:
   (A) CREATING  A  RESILIENT  ELECTRIC  VEHICLE  CHARGING  SYSTEM  PILOT
 PROGRAM  AT  THE  COMMERCIAL  RETAIL RATE WITH A MONTHLY CASH OUT OPTION
 PROGRAM AND A TOTAL PROGRAM CAP OF 50 MEGAWATTS;
   (B) ESTABLISHING A VALUE STACK ADDER FOR  VALUATION  OF  UNINTERRUPTED
 RESILIENT  CARBON FREE POWER GENERATION GENERATED WITHIN AN EV MICROGRID
 THAT IS PARTICIPATING IN THE PILOT PROGRAM  THAT  SUPPORTS  A  RESILIENT
 ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SYSTEM AT THE COMMERCIAL RETAIL RATE; AND
   (C)  CREATING  A  TIMELY  INTERCONNECTION PROCESS FOR RESILIENT CARBON
 FREE POWER GENERATION COMPRISING AN EV MICROGRID.
   § 2. Section 1005 of the public authorities law is amended by adding a
 new subdivision 31 to read as follows:
   31. THE AUTHORITY IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH SECTION  SIXTY-SIX-X  OF
 THE  PUBLIC  SERVICE  LAW,  SHALL  PROMULGATE  SUCH RULES, POLICIES, AND
 PROCEDURES NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE NO LATER THAN  ONE  HUNDRED  EIGHTY
 DAYS FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS SUBDIVISION FOR:
   (A)  CREATING  A  RESILIENT  ELECTRIC  VEHICLE  CHARGING SYSTEM AT THE
 COMMERCIAL RETAIL RATE WITH A MONTHLY CASH  OUT  OPTION  PROGRAM  AND  A
 TOTAL PROGRAM CAP OF 50 MEGAWATTS;
   (B)  ESTABLISHING  A  VALUE STACK ADDER FOR VALUATION OF UNINTERRUPTED
 RESILIENT CARBON FREE POWER GENERATION GENERATED WITHIN AN EV  MICROGRID
 THAT  IS  ALSO A PARTICIPANT OF THE PILOT PROGRAM THAT SUPPORTS A RESIL-
 IENT ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SYSTEM AT THE COMMERCIAL RETAIL RATE; AND
   (C) CREATING A TIMELY INTERCONNECTION  PROCESS  FOR  RESILIENT  CARBON
 FREE POWER GENERATION COMPRISING AN EV MICROGRID.
   § 3. Section 1020-f of the public authorities law, as added by chapter
 517  of the laws of 1986, is amended by adding a new subdivision (ll) to
 read as follows:
   (LL) THE AUTHORITY IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH SECTION SIXTY-SIX-X  OF
 THE  PUBLIC  SERVICE  LAW,  SHALL  PROMULGATE  SUCH RULES, POLICIES, AND
 PROCEDURES NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE NO LATER THAN  ONE  HUNDRED  EIGHTY
 DAYS FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS SECTION FOR:
   1.  CREATING  A  RESILIENT  ELECTRIC  VEHICLE  CHARGING  SYSTEM AT THE
 COMMERCIAL RETAIL RATE WITH A MONTHLY CASH OUT OPTION  PROGRAM  AND  THE
 TOTAL PROGRAM CAP OF 50 MEGAWATTS;
   2.  ESTABLISHING  A  VALUE  STACK ADDER FOR VALUATION OF UNINTERRUPTED
 RESILIENT CARBON FREE POWER GENERATION GENERATED WITHIN AN EV  MICROGRID
 THAT  IS  ALSO A PARTICIPANT OF THE PILOT PROGRAM THAT SUPPORTS A RESIL-
 IENT ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SYSTEM AT THE COMMERCIAL RETAIL RATE; AND
   3. CREATING A TIMELY INTERCONNECTION PROCESS FOR RESILIENT CARBON FREE
 POWER GENERATION COMPRISING AN EV MICROGRID.
   § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
