Summary
This bill would direct the Virginia State Corporation Commission to establish a work group to evaluate and assess energy load flexibility protocols for high electricity demand customers. Load flexibility refers to the ability of large power consumers to adjust their electricity usage based on supply availability, pricing, or grid conditions. The work group would examine and evaluate strategies and protocols that encourage or enable high-demand customers to shift or reduce their electricity consumption during peak demand periods. The work group would be required to report its findings and recommendations to the legislature.
