The bill amends the Clean and Renewable Energy and Energy Waste Reduction Act by adding a new part focused on Distributed Generation and Storage. It introduces several definitions related to distributed energy resources, including terms such as "Aggregator," "Behind-the-meter eligible electric generator," "Demand response resource," "Distributed energy resource," "Eligible electric generator," "Energy storage system," "Enterprise distributed energy resources management system," "Grid-edge distributed energy resources management system," and "Program event." These definitions aim to clarify the roles and technologies involved in managing and utilizing distributed energy resources effectively.

Additionally, the bill specifies that an "Eligible electric generator" must be located in Michigan and meet safety and reliability requirements for interconnection. It also outlines that energy storage systems do not include fossil fuel storage or power-to-gas storage that uses fossil fuel inputs. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 732 of the 103rd Legislature.
