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 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 interconnected micro-grid system means an electrically distinct system under common control that is— interconnected to the transmission organization; and capable of operating in parallel with, or independently from, the bulk-power system. The term transmission organization has the meaning given the term Transmission Organization 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 Act, 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 interconnected micro-grid systems; and describes the fuel sources and operational characteristics of such distributed energy resources and interconnected micro-grid systems, including, to the extent practicable, a discussion of the benefits and costs associated with the distributed energy resources and interconnected 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 interconnected 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 availability to the transmission organization of distributed energy resources and interconnected micro-grid systems; and potential changes to the operational requirements for, or charges associated with, the availability of distributed energy resources and interconnected micro-grid systems to the transmission organization that would reduce the barriers identified under clause (i).
