This bill amends the existing law regarding the grid modernization advisory group by adding new recommendations for consideration. Specifically, it introduces four new subparagraphs to RSA 12-P:16, II(a), which address critical issues related to electricity reliability in New Hampshire and New England. The new subparagraphs include considerations of current and growing reliability challenges, the role of energy storage in both short-term and long-term reliability, market-based solutions to promote large-scale energy storage systems, and the implementation of an indexing storage credit model to encourage the development of the storage market.

The bill does not delete any existing legal language but rather enhances the current framework by incorporating these additional recommendations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage, which is approved for June 17, 2025.
