Summary
The SHIELD Act adds "large load facilities" (sites over 75 MW) as a distinct class of electric consumers under PURPA. It forces utilities to charge these users for any grid upgrades needed to serve them, and gives priority to users that employ efficiency, storage, demand‑response, or zero‑emission onsite generation. The bill also sets timelines for state regulators to adopt and report on these rules.
