Notwithstanding, the minimum mandatory charge per kilowatt-hour as established by the department of public utilities  in sections 19 and  section 20, inclusive, of chapter 25 of the general laws, shall not apply to any end use customer whose monthly use of electricity reaches or exceeds 1,000,000 kWh; provided, however, the previous sentence shall not apply unless said customer executes a memorandum of understanding with electric distribution companies serving the utility service territory that any mandatory charges above 1,000,000 kWh shall be directly used for any qualified energy efficiency measures approved and recognized by the department of public utilities, in coordination with the department of energy resources, involving the modification of or change in the operating procedures of a building or facility in a manner likely to improve the efficiency of energy use and reduce energy consumption, and shall include energy conservation measures and any process to audit or identify and specify energy and cost savings. For purposes of this section, multiple facilities owned by the eligible end use customer shall not be aggregated or combined unless said customer owns similar facilities within the same utility service territory.
