While the Commission recognizes that it cannot order an EU to construct or acquire specific resources, the Commission finds that economic benefits warrant reasonably incentivizing energy independence through cost reductions for renewable energy for K-12 public schools through power purchase agreements, renewable energy for low-to-moderate income residential customers and residential battery storage systems that can accommodate and are compatible with any existing or future EU demand side management or demand response programs. Any renewable energy for public school programs or low-to-moderate income residential renewable energy programs will be subject to the three percent (3%) participation cap described, previously, herein; however, nothing herein prevents an EU from extending these programs if it chooses. These programs should begin on January 1, 2023, and should continue for no more than five (5) years.
