(a) The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority shall adopt regulations, in accordance with chapter 54, which establish procedures to determine the manner in which capacity needs of electric public service companies may be met through the provision of electricity conservation and demand management measures by private power providers, in addition to or in lieu of electricity generation facilities and to determine the monitoring and evaluation plans to be employed in documenting the demand and energy savings achieved, including, where practicable and cost-effective, impact measurement methods implemented through metering arrangements, with appropriate adjustment for weather normalization and other factors influencing usage levels. In adopting and implementing said regulations, the authority shall take into account state energy policy, pursuant to section 16a-35k.
(b) A private power provider may offer to provide electricity conservation or demand management measures to an electric public service company pursuant to section 16-243b and this section and the regulations adopted under subsection (a) of this section. The authority shall review and evaluate such proposals based on the factors specified in said regulations, and after notice and a hearing, render a determination as to the feasibility of the proposed electricity conservation and demand management measures. The authority may, in accordance with such regulations, order an electric public service company to enter into an agreement with a private power provider where the private power provider would furnish electricity conservation or demand management measures to the electric public service company or its customers.
