This bill amends the Clean and Renewable Energy and Energy Waste Reduction Act by adding new sections that establish requirements for electric providers regulated by the commission. Specifically, it mandates the development of programs that allow aggregators and individual owners of behind-the-meter eligible electric generators and demand response resources to provide distribution and transmission system services. The commission is required to adopt these program requirements within one year and must include stakeholder input. Key provisions include compensation for grid services based on utility marginal costs, ensuring that compensation reflects the full value of services provided, and establishing consumer protections and standards for program participation.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of electric providers to file proposed programs that comply with the new requirements and clarifies that owners or aggregators participating in these programs are not classified as electric suppliers or utilities. The commission is also tasked with reviewing the implementation of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Order 2222 and reporting findings and recommendations to the legislature every two years. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 731.
