AI Summary

This bill establishes provisions to improve electricity resilience at critical facilities, such as military installations, hospitals, and disaster staging areas. It allows electrical corporations to file requests with the Public Service Commission for cost recovery on investments that enhance the ability of these critical facilities to promptly restore electricity supply or operate independently from the grid during interruptions. The Commission will consider factors like the investment's duration, inclusion of distributed energy resources, and ability to prioritize essential functions. Approved investments will be supported through cost-recovery mechanisms, with the Commission also considering any available federal funds. The Commission will conduct annual reviews to assess the performance of these resilience projects.
