Bill Summary
Relative to the use of local or district energy services, the energy microgrid, or public rights of way for the purposes of energy generation or resiliency. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote local energy resiliency by amending Chapter 164 of the General Laws to allow municipalities, state agencies, and private electric customers within an electric or gas company's service territory to procure local or district energy services, establish an energy microgrid, or utilize public rights of way for the purposes of energy generation or resiliency, without being prevented by any exclusive service or franchise rights granted under Section 1B or elsewhere in the chapter. This change is intended to provide more flexibility and options for communities to develop local energy solutions that can enhance their overall energy resilience.
