Section 48:25-16 - Proposal request, demonstration project, information submitted to boardA request for proposal shall require an applicant intending to establish a demonstration project to submit information to the board, which information shall include, but not be limited to:
a. a statement of purpose for the proposed demonstration project, which shall include, but not be limited to, the development of electric vehicle charging depots serviced by distributed energy resource charging centers;b. a validation of any cost-saving, time-saving, or resilience metrics associated with the use of electric vehicle charging depots serviced by distributed energy resource charging centers, as compared to the traditional capital investment approach to electric public utility grid replacement for the establishment of electric vehicle charging depots not serviced by distributed energy resource charging centers for use by electric vehicles;c. a description of the proposed electric vehicle charging depots, including any distributed energy resource charging center servicing the depots, and a clear explanation and map conveying the physical boundaries of each proposed site;d. a description of the size and configuration of the distributed energy resource charging center, including, at a minimum: how much Class I renewable energy is expected to be produced; how much, if any, energy storage is incorporated in the design; how much, if any, fossil fuel generation is incorporated in the design; and any other information as may be required by the board;e. the amount of incentive requested, including in total dollars, dollars per electric vehicle mile traveled, and dollars per unit of pollution abated; andf. a statement from the applicant attesting that each distributed energy resource charging center shall:(1) allow for clean or renewable energy-sourced electric power generation and energy storage provided on-site or on property contiguous to the distributed energy resource charging center, in addition to the ability to charge electric vehicles;(2) comply with any electric vehicle charging infrastructure plan established by the board in which distributed energy resource charging center infrastructure is needed to get the most benefit for electric vehicle charging;(3) specify whether the proposed electric vehicle charging depots are intended to displace existing fleet vehicles, or whether the depots are intended to bring new vehicles into overburdened municipalities;(4) describe any plans to participate in a managed charging program, including one that directs charging to off-peak periods or minimizes demand charge peaks; and(5) provide any other information required by the board.Added by L. 2023, c. 316,s. 4, eff. 1/16/2024.
