Introduced  by M. of A. GALEF -- read once and referred to the Committee
  on Energy

AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation  to  providing  real
  time smart metering technology to residential electricity customers

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative intent.  The  legislature  intends  to  provide
residential customers with the ability to control and manage electricity
usage and the time of usage in their homes. The implementation of a real
time  pricing  smart  meter  program  should help to conserve energy and
prevent peak-time system overloads. The expansion of  the  use  of  real
time  pricing smart meters from the commercial and industrial markets to
the residential market should benefit  consumers  with  reduced  monthly
costs and stimulate market competition.
  S 2. The public service law is amended by adding a new section 39-a to
read as follows:
  S  39-A. REAL TIME PRICING SMART METERING. 1. AS USED IN THIS SECTION,
THE TERM "REAL TIME SMART METER" OR "METER" SHALL MEAN A METERING DEVICE
THAT HAS THE FOLLOWING CAPABILITIES:
  (A) COUPLED WITH AN IN-HOME DISPLAY DEVICE THAT CAN DISPLAY REAL  TIME
USAGE  OR  DEMAND AND REAL TIME PRICING IN USEFUL COMPARISONS INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MEANS SUCH AS SIDE BY SIDE BAR GRAPHS OR COLOR CODED
SYSTEMS THAT REFLECT CHANGING UTILITY DEMAND AND PRICING;
  (B) RECORDING AND STORING AND  INTERPRETING  KILOWATT  PER  HOUR  USER
RATES IN ONE-HALF HOUR INTERVALS;
  (C)  COMMUNICATING  REAL TIME PRICING THRESHOLDS TO HOME APPLIANCES TO
REDUCE APPLIANCE USAGE AS DETERMINED BY THE RATEPAYER OR  IN  AGREEMENTS
WITH AN ENERGY PROVIDER;
  (D)  BEING  READ  REMOTELY OR RECEIVING DATA FROM, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE INTERNET,  WIRELESS  FIDELITY  NETWORK,  BROADBAND OVER POWER  LINE,

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD02750-01-3
