AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 3830

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 3830 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 5. The Public Utilities Act is amended by adding Section 8-508.5 as follows:

(220 ILCS 5/8-508.5 new)

Sec. 8-508.5. Load curtailment of load-serving entities.

(a) Any order for load curtailment from PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM) that is given to a load-serving entity and that concerns the load-serving entity's provision of service to a large load addition customer shall only apply to that large load addition customer and no other customer of the load-serving entity.

(b) Any obligation, financial or otherwise, that is assigned to a load-serving entity due to PJM's backstop procurement of new capacity or other comparable services shall be passed through to new large load addition customers under terms that are comparable to the terms under which PJM assigned the obligation to the load-serving entity.

(c) Each large load addition customer that triggers a PJM backstop procurement shall, as a condition of using service provided by a public utility, provide appropriate financial security to ensure that the public utility's existing customers are held harmless for the entire contract term and for the value of any backstop procurement obligation imposed by PJM.

(d) Any new large load addition customer that applies to a public utility for service shall submit information to PJM that includes, but is not limited to, the following:

(1) the large load addition's expected load usage;

(2) the large load addition's expected peak load;

(3) the large load addition's capacity utilization;

(4) whether the large load addition is dependent on another proposed project moving forward; and

(5) any other information requested by PJM.

(e) Nothing in this Section is intended: (1) to prevent or hinder any action by a load-serving entity that is necessary to maintain the load-serving entity's system reliability; or (2) to prevent the load-serving entity from adopting appropriate voluntary load curtailment programs.".
