  generation resources

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

  Section 1. 1. No later than 365 days after the effective date of  this
act,  the  public  service commission shall issue an order governing the
equitable sharing of interconnection costs where two or more distributed
generation resources substantially utilize the same dedicated equipment,
including but not limited to dedicated electric cables, wires, circuits,
transformers and substations,  which  but  for  the  operation  of  such
resources would not have been installed by an electric corporation.
  2.   For   the  purposes  of  this  section,  "distributed  generation
resources" shall refer to:
  (a) energy-generating equipment defined in paragraphs (d),  (e),  (f),
(g) and (h) of subdivision 1 of section 66-j of the public service law;
  (b)  energy-generating  equipment defined in paragraph (f) of subdivi-
sion 1 of section 66-l of the public service law; and
  (c) energy-generating equipment necessary for  community  net-metering
as established by the commission on or after July 17, 2015.
  3. The order established by such commission shall include:
  (a) the reasonable payment of costs to customer-generators and persons
who previously paid the costs of installing dedicated equipment required
for  the interconnection of a distributed generation resource. The order
shall provide for cost-sharing payments under the following scenarios:
  (i) an applicant who has received approval from his  or  her  electric
corporation  to  interconnect  a  distributed  generation resource which
would substantially utilize existing equipment paid for by one  or  more
customer-generators  or persons owning or operating one or more distrib-
uted generation resources.
  (ii) two or more applicants who  have  received  approval  from  their
electric  corporation  to  interconnect distributed generation resources
