Bill Title: Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Changes all instances of "electric corporation" to "electric utility". Provides that an electric utility that operates within the State shall allow customers seeking energization to elect an optional flexible connection agreement, meaning a tariffed, voluntary utility offering that requires customers to agree to specified service levels as a requirement of energization or interconnection, through the use of load management technology that limits the net import and export of electricity at the point of common coupling to remain within the rated capacity limits of a customer's existing service connection or distribution circuit, either on a permanent basis or to allow for immediate project operations before service or distribution system upgrades are completed. Describes considerations the Illinois Commerce Commission shall require an electric utility to include in its internal distribution planning process and in the development of the Multi-Year Integrated Grid Plans required under the Public Utilities Act (rather than considerations the electric utility shall be required to include in its distribution planning process only). Requires the load and electrification forecasts of electric utilities to include scenarios that are consistent with achieving the various laws, standards, plans, and regulations referenced in the Act. Provides that, if the solutions set forth in the Act cannot defer or mitigate an upgrade, then the electric utility shall evaluate traditional system upgrades (rather than may evaluate traditional system upgrades). Sets forth requirements to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical infrastructure associated with charging electric vehicles. Effective immediately.
