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;

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