AN  ACT  to require the public service commission to develop recommenda-
  tions regarding the establishment of microgrids

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

  Section  1.  Notwithstanding the provisions of any general, special or
local law to the contrary, the public service commission  shall  develop
recommendations  regarding  the establishment of microgrids in the state
of New York. For purposes of this act, the term "microgrid" shall mean a
group of interconnected loads and distributed  energy  resources  within
clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable
entity  with respect to the grid and can connect and disconnect from the
grid to enable it to operate  in  both  grid-connected  or  island-mode.
Specifically,   the   commission  shall  develop  recommendations  which
include, but are not limited to, the following:
  (a) Whether microgrids  should  be  established  at  hospitals,  first
responder  headquarters,  such  as  police  and fire stations, emergency
shelters, schools, water filtration plants, sewage treatment plants  and
other locations in the state of New York;
  (b) The geographic areas in the state of New York where the establish-
ment  of  such  microgrids should be a priority, based upon severe storm
damage during the two years prior to the effective date of this act; and
  (c) Funding mechanisms that should be considered in order to  pay  for
the establishment of such microgrids.
  S  2. The commission shall submit a final report of recommendations to
the governor, the temporary president of the senate and the  speaker  of
the assembly within one year after the affective date of this act.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
