§ 56-585.1:17 . Virtual power plant pilot program; Phase I Utilities.
A. As used in this section:
"Aggregator" means an individual or entity, other than the electric utility, that enrolls customers in the pilot program and coordinates the operation of enrolled energy resources. An aggregator shall not be considered an electric utility by virtue of participating in the pilot program but shall be given nondiscriminatory access to necessary customer and grid data from the utility to participate in the pilot program.
