RSA 374-H:1 · Definitions
374-H:1 Definitions. – In this chapter:
Copy link"Bring your own device" means a program for encouraging non-utility owned, and especially retail-customer owned, behind-the-meter energy storage to provide value to the electricity system, particularly in terms of peak reduction and avoided transmission and distribution costs. Such a program shall provide just and reasonable compensation, as determined by the commission, including actual avoided transmission and distribution costs, to a participating behind-the-meter energy storage system for the value it provides to the electricity system.
Copy link"Energy storage" means batteries, flywheels, compressed air energy systems, sensible heat storage or any other technology, system, or device capable of taking electricity and storing it as some form of energy the technology, system, or device can either convert back into electricity or use to displace an electrical load at a later time. Such term shall include standalone technologies, systems, and devices, as well as those co-located with or incorporated into a renewable energy source.
Copy link"Front-of-meter storage" means any energy storage that is not behind-the-meter storage and may include energy storage constructed, owned, and/or operated by utilities subject to the same use restrictions in RSA 374-G:4, I.
Copy link"ISO-New England" means the Independent System Operator New England or any successor entity.
Copy link"Local network service" means the term as defined in ISO-New England's transmission, markets, and services tariff, section II.
Copy link"Non-utility" means any entity that is not a utility that develops, builds, owns, operates, or assists in the operation of one or more energy storage projects, including retail customers that buy behind-the-meter storage installed on their property.
Copy link"Regional network service" means the term as defined in ISO-New England's transmission, markets, and services tariff, section II.
Copy link"Renewable energy source" means a Class I, Class II, or Class IV renewable energy source as defined in RSA 362-F:4.
Copy link"Wholesale electricity markets" means any energy, capacity, or ancillary service market that ISO-New England operates or may operate pursuant to RSA 362-A:2-a. Source. 2021, 228:2, Pt. I, Sec. 1, eff. Oct. 25, 2021.
