Bill > SB0731

This bill amends Michigan's Clean and Renewable Energy Act by adding definitions for various energy-related terms related to distributed energy resources and management systems. The bill defines key concepts such as "aggregator" (a third-party that represents grid services from distributed energy resources), "distributed energy resource" (devices connected to the electrical distribution system), "eligible electric generator" (customer-owned renewable energy systems, energy storage, electric vehicles, etc.), and "energy storage system" (technologies that can store and redeliver energy). The definitions establish a framework for understanding how different energy technologies can interact with the electrical grid, specifically excluding fossil fuel storage from the energy storage definition. The bill introduces terms like "enterprise distributed energy resources management system" and "grid-edge distributed energy resources management system," which appear to describe platforms for controlling and communicating with distributed energy resources. Additionally, the bill includes a tie-bar provision stipulating that it will only take effect if Senate Bill No. 732 is also enacted into law, suggesting this is part of a broader legislative package related to energy management and distributed generation.
