Bill Summary
Relative to the articles of incorporation of gas and electric companies and the promotion of residential solar energy. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote residential solar energy by amending section 6 of chapter 164 of the Massachusetts General Laws. Specifically, it removes the language that limits the amount gas and electric companies can charge customers for residential solar installations to the lesser of $1,000 or a certain percentage of the total cost. This change allows the companies to charge a higher amount, potentially making residential solar more accessible and financially viable for homeowners in Massachusetts.
