An Act amending Title 66 (Public Utilities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in restructuring of electric utility industry, providing for energy storage procurement.

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the state’s public utilities code that obligates every electric distribution company to develop an energy‑storage program and acquire at least 3,000 MW of capacity—2,000 MW short‑duration and 1,000 MW long‑duration—by July 1 2033. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission will allocate each utility’s share, oversee competitive procurement, and appoint an independent monitor to ensure fairness. The goal is to boost grid reliability, defer upgrades, and keep electricity affordable for ratepayers.
