§ 7-1006.
(a) (1) The Commission may approve or require an investor–owned electric company to offer upfront incentives or rebates to customers to acquire and install renewable on–site generating systems if the customer:
(i) enrolls in a pilot program or temporary tariff established under § 7–1005 of this subtitle; and
(ii) allows the system to be used for electric distribution system support services for a period of not less than 5 years.
(2) The Commission may:
(i) authorize or require an investor–owned electric company to provide an additional incentive or rebate for low– or moderate–income customers who apply for an incentive or rebate under this section; and
(ii) require an investor–owned electric company to prioritize the offer of incentives or rebates under this section to low– or moderate–income customers.
(b) In determining whether to require an investor–owned electric company to offer an incentive or rebate under this section, the Commission shall consider:
(1) the benefit of reducing the operation of peak generating facilities in overburdened and underserved communities;
(2) the benefit of resiliency and service outage avoidance for customers with on–site generating systems; and
(3) the potential for investor–owned electric companies to reduce expenses relating to electric distribution system infrastructure by leveraging customers’ on–site generating systems.
(c) The Commission shall consider establishing a limit on the amount of incentives or rebates issued in a manner that achieves deployment goals while mitigating potential customer impacts.
(d) The Commission shall consult with the Maryland Energy Administration, when approving or requiring an incentive or rebate under this section, to ensure that the incentive or rebate is designed to supplement, to the greatest extent possible, other available State and federal incentives for customer adoption of renewable on–site generating systems.
