          referred to the Committee on Energy

        AN  ACT  to amend the public service law and the public authorities law,
          in relation to establishing the energy storage deployment program
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  The public service law is amended by adding a new section
     2  74 to read as follows:
     3    § 74. Energy storage deployment  program.  1.  (a)  As  used  in  this
     4  section "qualified energy storage system" shall mean commercially avail-
     5  able  technology  that  is capable of absorbing energy, storing it for a
     6  period of time, and thereafter dispatching the energy. A qualified ener-
     7  gy storage system shall be cost-effective and either  assist  the  inte-
     8  gration  of  variable  energy  resources, reduce emissions of greenhouse
     9  gases, reduce demand for peak electrical generation, defer or substitute
    10  for an investment in generation, transmission, or  distribution  assets,
    11  or  improve  the  reliable  operation  of the electrical transmission or
    12  distribution grid.
    13    (b) A qualified energy storage system shall do  one  or  more  of  the
    14  following:  (i)  use mechanical, chemical, or thermal processes to store
    15  energy that was generated at one time for use  at  a  later  time;  (ii)
    16  store  thermal  energy  for direct use for heating or cooling at a later
    17  time in a manner that avoids the need to use electricity at  that  later
    18  time;  (iii)  use  mechanical,  chemical,  or thermal processes to store
    19  energy generated from renewable resources for use at a  later  time;  or
    20  (iv)  use  mechanical,  chemical,  or  thermal processes to store energy
    21  generated from mechanical processes that would otherwise be  wasted  for
    22  delivery at a later time.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD10350-01-7
        A. 6571                             2
 
     1    2.  Within  ninety  days  of  the  effective date of this section, the
     2  commission shall commence a proceeding to establish the  energy  storage
     3  deployment  program  to  encourage  the installation of qualified energy
     4  storage systems. No later than January first, two thousand eighteen, the
     5  commission  shall  make  a  determination  establishing a target for the
     6  installation of qualified energy storage systems to be achieved  through
     7  two thousand thirty and programs that will enable the state to meet such
     8  target.  The  commission  shall  consult  with the New York state energy
     9  research and development authority and the Long Island  power  authority
    10  in  the  preparation  of  such  determination.  The  determination shall
    11  include the following:
    12    (a) The creation of the energy storage deployment program to be admin-
    13  istered by the New York state energy research and development  authority
    14  and the Long Island power authority;
    15    (b) Estimated annual expenditures associated with the program for each
    16  year  commencing with calendar year two thousand eighteen and continuing
    17  through calendar year two thousand thirty;
    18    (c) Program designs that take the following into consideration:
    19    (1) avoided or deferred costs associated with  transmission,  distrib-
    20  ution, and/or capacity;
    21    (2) minimization of peak load in constrained areas; and
    22    (3) systems that are connected to customer facilities and systems that
    23  are directly connected to transmission and distribution facilities;
    24    (d)  Annual  reports  on  the  achievements  and  effectiveness of the
    25  program to be submitted to the governor, the temporary president of  the
    26  senate, and the speaker of the assembly; and
    27    (e) Such other issues deemed appropriate by the commission.
    28    §  2.  Sections 1020-ii, 1020-jj and 1020-kk of the public authorities
    29  law, as renumbered by chapter 388 of the laws of  2011,  are  renumbered

    33  encourage the installation of qualified energy storage  systems  in  its
    34  service  territory  through implementation of the energy storage deploy-
    35  ment program as set forth and defined in  section  seventy-four  of  the
    36  public service law.
    37    § 3. Subdivision 1 of section 1020-s of the public authorities law, as
    38  amended  by  section  9 of part A of chapter 173 of the laws of 2013, is
    39  amended to read as follows:
    40    1. The rates, services  and  practices  relating  to  the  electricity
    41  generated  by facilities owned or operated by the authority shall not be
    42  subject to the provisions of the public service law or to regulation by,
    43  or the jurisdiction of, the public service  commission,  except  to  the
    44  extent (a) article seven of the public service law applies to the siting
    45  and operation of a major utility transmission facility as defined there-
    46  in,  (b)  article  ten of such law applies to the siting of a generating
    47  facility as defined therein, (c) section eighteen-a of such law provides
