(a)
Definitions
In this section:
(1)
Additional services
(2)
Waste heat to power system
(3)
Other terms
(A)
Purpa
(B)
EPCA
(b)
Review
(1)
In general
(2)
Inclusion
The review under this subsection shall include a review of existing rules and procedures relating to—
(A)
determining and assigning costs of interconnection service and additional services; and
(B)
ensuring adequate cost recovery by an electric utility for interconnection service and additional services.
(c)
Model guidance
(1)
In general
(2)
Current best practices
The model guidance issued under this subsection shall reflect, to the maximum extent practicable, current best practices to encourage the deployment of combined heat and power systems and waste heat to power systems while ensuring the safety and reliability of the interconnected units and the distribution and transmission networks to which the units connect, including—
(A)
relevant current standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers; and
(B)
model codes and rules adopted by—
(i)
States; or
(ii)
associations of State regulatory agencies.
(3)
Factors for consideration
In establishing the model guidance under this subsection, the Secretary shall take into consideration—
(A)
the appropriateness of using standards or procedures for interconnection service that vary based on unit size, fuel type, or other relevant characteristics;
(B)
the appropriateness of establishing fast-track procedures for interconnection service;
(C)
the value of consistency with Federal interconnection rules established by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as of
November 15, 2021
;
(D)
the best practices used to model outage assumptions and contingencies to determine fees or rates for additional services;
(E)
the appropriate duration, magnitude, or usage of demand charge ratchets;
(F)
potential alternative arrangements with respect to the procurement of additional services, including—
(i)
contracts tailored to individual electric consumers for additional services;
(ii)
procurement of additional services by an electric utility from a competitive market; and
(iii)
waivers of fees or rates for additional services for small electric consumers; and
(G)
outcomes such as increased electric reliability, fuel diversification, enhanced power quality, and reduced electric losses that may result from increased use of combined heat and power systems and waste heat to power systems.
