In this section: The term distributed energy resource means an electricity supply resource that, as permitted by State law— is interconnected to the electric system operated by a transmission organization at or below 69kV; and is subject to dispatch by the transmission organization; and generates electricity using any primary energy source, including solar energy and other renewable resources; or stores energy and is capable of supplying electricity to the electric system operated by the transmission organization from the storage reservoir.
The term electric generating capacity resource means an electric generating resource, as measured by the maximum load-carrying ability of the resource, exclusive of station use and planned, unplanned, or other outage or derating, that is subject to dispatch by a transmission organization to meet the resource adequacy needs of the systems operated by the transmission organization. The term micro-grid system means an electrically distinct system under common control that— serves an electric load at or below 69kV from a distributed energy resource or electric generating capacity resource; and is subject to dispatch by a transmission organization.
The term transmission organization has the meaning given the term in section 3 of the Federal Power Act ( 16 U.S.C. 796 ). Not later than 14 days after the date of enactment of this section, the Commission shall submit to each transmission organization notice that the transmission organization is required to file with the Commission a report in accordance with paragraph (2). Not later than 180 days after the date on which a transmission organization receives a notice under paragraph (1), the transmission organization shall submit to the Commission a report that— identifies distributed energy resources and micro-grid systems that are subject to dispatch by the transmission organization as of the date of the report; and describes the fuel sources and operational characteristics of such distributed energy resources and micro-grid systems, including, to the extent practicable, a discussion of the benefits and costs associated with the distributed energy resources and micro-grid systems identified under clause (i); evaluates, with due regard for operational and economic benefits and costs, the potential for distributed energy resources and micro-grid systems to be deployed to the transmission organization over the short- and long-term periods in the planning cycle of the transmission organization; and identifies— over the short- and long-term periods in the planning cycle of the transmission organization, barriers to the deployment to the transmission organization of distributed energy resources and micro-grid systems; and potential changes to the operational requirements for, or charges associated with, the interconnection of distributed energy resources and micro-grid systems to the transmission organization that would reduce the barriers identified under clause (i).
