An Act establishing off-peak charging rebates.

 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

Within three months after the effective date of this act, the department of public utilities shall open a proceeding to direct distribution companies to propose rate rebates for off-peak electric vehicle charging relative to on-peak charging that incorporate values for avoided energy and capacity costs, avoided transmission costs, avoided distribution costs, improved grid reliability, capacity benefits in the form of demand induced price reduction effects, avoided greenhouse gas emissions and public health benefits. Within six months of the opening of such a proceeding, the department of public utilities shall direct the distribution companies to implement such rebates. Such discounts shall be coordinated to minimize differences between distribution companies.
