 into the electrical grid

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

 1 Section 1. Study. The department of public service is authorized and
 2 directed to conduct a study on the regulatory barriers, if any, to the
 3 rapid deployment of energy interconnection processes in the state that
 4 shall include, but not be limited to:
 5 (a) Potential changes to the interconnection process to rapidly bring
 6 new renewable energy onto the electrical grid to meet the state's renew-
 7 able energy goals set out under the climate leadership and community
 8 protection act, as amended;
 9 (b) The state's ability to comply with goals established in the
 10 climate leadership and community protection act, as amended, with
 11 current energy interconnection process timelines, including the effect
 12 of recent reforms by the federally designated bulk system operator and
 13 any additional anticipated reforms;
 14 (c) The experience of other interconnection systems using "Connect and
 15 Manage" or other alternative connection agreements in terms of the speed
 16 of resource deployments and electrical grid reliability;
 17 (d) The extent to which the studies and network upgrades currently
 18 required for projects by the federally designated bulk system operator
 19 go beyond the minimal set of studies and network upgrades needed to
 20 safely operate the system with a new resource;
