(a) The Commission may adopt and implement rules that govern the installation and operation of energy storage facilities of all sizes.

(b) The rules may establish a size threshold below which storage facilities need not submit an application for a certificate of public good pursuant to section 248 of this title.

(c) The rules may include provisions that govern:

(1) the respective duties of retail electricity providers and energy storage facility owners or operators;

(2) the electrical and fire safety, power quality, interconnection, metering, and decommissioning of energy storage facilities;

(3) the resolution of disputes between energy storage facility owners, operators, and the interconnecting provider;

(4) energy storage aggregators and the operation of aggregations; and

(5) energy storage facilities paired with other resources, such as net metering and standard offer plants, including retrofits of existing plants.
