Committee heard that Lebanon Community Power's small‑customer rates have been lower than Liberty's for recent months, enrollment increased by roughly 2,000, and staff are monitoring DAISY charges and proxy‑price issues that have affected reserves and competition with utilities.

Members discussed whether utilities or third‑party aggregators should run virtual power plants and the measurement changes (AMI, coincident peak) needed to capture value; they also reiterated concerns that the PUC's proxy‑price method has led to systematic undercollections.
