Summary

The bill lets commercial and industrial users with at least 25 MW of monthly demand bypass certain utility permits and sets a fast‑track process for connecting to the grid. It also requires the Public Service Commission to run a demand‑response program and mandates fees that fund universal service and low‑income energy efficiency. The changes aim to encourage storage, carbon‑free resources, and flexible load to improve grid reliability.
