Directs Maryland’s investor-owned utilities to launch pilot programs under the DRIVE Act, including time-of-use rates, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration, and non-wires alternatives. Establishes reporting timelines, requires tariff filings, and initiates rulemaking on grid edge resource interconnection.

Establishment of a temporary tariff and a pilot program for electric distribution system support services. Where the services mean dispatch and control of distributed resources for local or system peak demand reduction, demand response, facilitating hosting capacity for additional distributed resources, and avoiding or deferring transmission or distribution upgrade or capacity expansion.

Finalizes new tariffs and programs and compensation rates and incentives for customers that use grid edge resources to provide grid services to Hawaiian Electric.

Describes how Hawaiian Electric uses a suite of modeling tools to identify near-term quantity and timing of grid needs and evaluate potential solutions.

A framework for integrating grid edge resources focused on establishing defined retail energy and distribution grid services, including rate design such as the implementation of time-of-use rates to incentivize customers to align energy consumption with grid needs; grid edge resource programs that compensat customers for energy exports and grid services, like the introduction of the smart grid edge resource tariff and bring-your-own-device tariff; and streamlining interconnection processes and updating technical standards to facilitate grid edge resource participation.

NWA Opportunity Evaluation Methodology

Directs the Commission to develop a methodology for evaluating the costs and benefits of using grid edge resources for NWA.

As part of broader direction from the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission on aspects related to integrated distribution planning, this order outlines non-wires alternatives analysis that Xcel Energy should perform.
