(a) If a customer of an electric distribution company implements customer-side distributed resource capacity after January 1, 2006, and such capacity is less than the customer's maximum metered peak load, the customer shall not be required to pay back-up power rates if the customer's distributed resources are available during system peak periods, provided the customer shall continue to be required to pay otherwise applicable charges for electricity provided by the electric distribution company.

(b) The costs that a customer is not required to pay pursuant to subsection (a) of this section shall be recoverable through federally mandated congestion charges by the electric distribution companies.
