Bill Summary
Relative to the renewable energy portfolio standard. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to accelerate the renewable portfolio standard in Massachusetts. It amends the existing state law to increase the annual renewable energy requirement for utilities, raising it from 1% to 2% of sales every year until 2023, then to 4% per year until 2025, 5% per year until 2027, and 7% per year until 2031, after which it would increase by 8% annually. This is intended to drive greater adoption of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power in the state's electricity mix over the next decade.
