AI Summary

This bill aims to provide tax exemptions for fuel cell powered systems in Massachusetts. It amends the state's property tax laws to exempt qualified fuel cell powered systems from taxation, as long as they are capable of producing no more than 125% of the annual energy needs of the real property they are located on. For any other qualified fuel cell powered systems, the owner can make a payment in lieu of taxes to the municipality where the system is located. The bill also excludes qualified fuel cell powered systems from the definition of "generation facility" under certain property tax provisions. The key provisions of the bill are the tax exemptions and payment in lieu of taxes for qualified fuel cell powered systems.
