48:2-21.39 Establishment of criteria for fixing rates.
3. a. The board shall, within 180 days of the effective date of P.L.2011, c.219 (C.48:2-21.37 et seq.), establish criteria for fixing rates associated with the assessment and imposition of standby charges, and shall require electric public utilities to file tariff rates with the board in accordance with such criteria.
b. In establishing such criteria, the board shall ensure equity between distributed generation customers and other electric public utility customers with regard to the imposition of standby charges and, in addition to any factors it deems relevant and such factors as it may consider pursuant to R.S.48:2-21, consider the following factors:
(1) any findings of the study conducted by the board pursuant to section 2 of P.L.2011, c.219 (C.48:2-21.38);
(2) the impact of demand charges and how they drive the operating performance of projects utilizing distributed generation, particularly during peak electricity demand periods; and
(3) the economic and environmental benefits the board finds are associated with distributed generation.
c. In establishing the criteria for fixing rates pursuant to subsection b. of this section, the board shall assess the feasibility of including guidelines for the allowance of special discounted charges for distributed generation customers as part of the criteria. In making such assessment, the board shall consider cost savings to electric public utilities resulting from distributed generation and any other benefits associated with distributed generation, including, but not limited to, any increase in energy efficiency and any associated decrease in demand for electric power from the electric grid.
