   On page 2, line 30, after "property" insert "that is not interconnected to the electric distribution system"

   On page 2, after line 31, insert the following:

   "(2) When light and power businesses serving eighty percent of the total customer load in the state adopt uniform standards for interconnection to the electric distribution system, any individual, business, or local governmental entity, not in the light and power business or in the gas distribution business, may apply to the light and power business serving the situs of the system, each fiscal year, for an investment cost recovery incentive for each kilowatt-hour from a customer-generated electricity renewable energy system installed on its property that is not interconnected to the electric distribution system and from a customer-generated electricity renewable energy system installed on its property that is interconnected to the electric distribution system. Uniform standards for interconnection to the electric distribution system means those standards established by light and power businesses that have ninety percent of total requirements the same. No incentive may be paid for kilowatt-hours generated before July 1, 2005, or after June 30, 2014."

   Renumber the remaining subsections consecutively and correct internal references accordingly.

   On page 5, line 18, strike all of section 4.

   Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct internal references accordingly.

EFFECT: Provides that persons and entities applying for the

investment cost recovery incentive may do so for each kilowatt-hour from a system that is not interconnected to the electric distribution system. Once uniform standards for interconnection are established by light and power businesses serving eighty percent of the customer load in the state, persons and entities applying for the investment cost recovery incentive may also do so for each kilowatt-hour from a system that is interconnected to the electric distribution system.

   Removes a section of the bill stating that the investment cost recovery payment applies only to systems that are not interconnected to an electric distribution system until uniform standards for interconnection are adopted by light and power businesses serving eighty percent of the customer load in the state.
