| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Public Utilities Act is amended by adding | ||||||
| 5 | Section 16-107.7 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (220 ILCS 5/16-107.7 new) | ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 16-107.7. Cost-benefit analysis of energy storage | ||||||
| 8 | systems. | ||||||
| 9 | (a) Within 90 days after the effective date of this | ||||||

| 11 | Commerce Commission must contract with an independent | ||||||
| 12 | consultant selected through a request for proposal process to | ||||||
| 13 | produce a report analyzing the potential costs and benefits of | ||||||
| 14 | energy storage systems. When examining the cost-effectiveness | ||||||
| 15 | of energy storage systems, the independent consultant must | ||||||
| 16 | analyze: | ||||||
| 17 | (1) cost savings to ratepayers from the provision of | ||||||
| 18 | services, including, but not limited to, energy price | ||||||
| 19 | arbitrage, ancillary services, resource adequacy, and | ||||||
| 20 | transmission and distribution asset deferral or | ||||||
| 21 | substitution; | ||||||
| 22 | (2) direct-cost savings to customers that deploy | ||||||
| 23 | energy storage systems; | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (3) an improved ability to integrate renewable | ||||||
| 2 | resources; | ||||||
| 3 | (4) improved reliability and power quality; | ||||||
| 4 | (5) the effect on retail electric rates over the useful | ||||||
| 5 | life of a given energy storage system compared to the | ||||||
| 6 | impact on retail electric rates using a nonenergy storage | ||||||
| 7 | system alternative over the useful life of the nonenergy | ||||||
| 8 | storage system alternative; | ||||||
| 9 | (6) reduced greenhouse gas emissions; and | ||||||
| 10 | (7) any other value reasonably related to the | ||||||
| 11 | application of energy storage system technology. | ||||||
| 12 | (b) The Illinois Commerce Commission must submit the report | ||||||
| 13 | to the General Assembly and the Governor by December 31, 2019.
| ||||||
| 14 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
| 15 | becoming law.
