1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Clean Energy Grid Act of 2019 . 2. Findings Congress finds that— (1) research by the Secretary of Energy and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency has found that clean distributed energy technologies can create important values for both the host facility and the electric grid operator; (2) the values described in paragraph (1) can include, for the host facility— (A) energy bill savings; (B) additional revenue from offering ancillary services to the electric grid operator; (C) increased electric reliability in the event of grid outages; and (D) improved electric power quality; (3) the values described in paragraph (1) can include, for the electric grid operator— (A) avoiding the need for transmission and distribution upgrade investments; (B) enhanced grid stability by providing reactive power; (C) voltage and frequency stabilization; and (D) more reliable and stable operation of the grid by providing dispatchable energy to the grid during periods of insufficient capacity or supply; and (4) new advances in intelligent sensing and simulation and control technologies offer the potential to enhance the benefits of clean distributed generation to both the host facility and the electric grid operator from dynamic, adaptive, and anticipatory response to changing grid conditions. 3. Definitions In this Act: (1) Ancillary service The term ancillary service means those services necessary to support the transmission of electric power from seller to purchaser given the obligations of control areas and transmitting utilities within those control areas to maintain reliable operations of the interconnected transmission system. (2) Clean distributed energy The term clean distributed energy means energy technologies that are located on or near the customer site operating on the customer side of the electric meter and are interconnected with the electric grid, including— (A) clean electric generation; (B) customer electric efficiency measures
