HB 315 (2021)

Revises the procedures applicable to municipal or county aggregators and municipal electric utilities for the aggregation of energy services.  The House Science, Technology and Energy committee unanimously recommended the bill pass, writing, "This bill modifies an existing law that permits the bundling of the electricity demand of many customers into a single bulk purchase. ... Changes made to the existing statute in 2019 added new provisions to augment community aggregation to permit grid modernizations, such as time of use and demand response capability, which transform community aggregation into a new service called community power. These 2019 changes unintentionally created roadblocks to rulemaking for this new capability because it did not protect non-aggregation consumers from potential added costs. This bill restores those protections."

The Senate amended the bill to also increase how much municipalities are allowed to net meter, from 1 megawatt up to 5 megawatts.  This is similar to SB 109.
