 AN ACT to require the New York state energy research and development
 authority to develop recommendations regarding the establishment of
 microgrids

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The New York state energy research and development author-
 2 ity, in consultation with the department of public service and the divi-
 3 sion of homeland security and emergency services, shall prepare a report
 4 including recommendations regarding the establishment of microgrids for
 5 protection of critical facilities in the state of New York. For purposes
 6 of this act, the term "microgrid" shall mean a group of interconnected
 7 loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical
 8 boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the
 9 grid and can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to oper-
 10 ate in both grid-connected or island-mode. Specifically, the authority
 11 shall develop recommendations which include, but are not limited to, the
 12 following:
 13 (a) Whether microgrids should be established at hospitals, first
 14 responder headquarters, such as police and fire stations, emergency
 15 shelters, schools, water filtration plants, sewage treatment plants and
 16 other critical facilities in the state of New York;
 17 (b) The geographic areas in the state of New York where the establish-
 18 ment of microgrids should be a priority, based upon prior severe storm
 19 damage and the consideration of disadvantaged communities as defined in
 20 subdivision 5 of section 75-0101 of the environmental conservation law;
 21 and
 22 (c) Available or necessary funding mechanisms for the establishment of
 23 microgrids.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
