AI Summary

This bill aims to establish energy storage system targets for Massachusetts by 2030 and 2035. The Department of Energy Resources will set annual statewide deployment targets for electric distribution companies and municipal lighting plants to achieve a total of 2,000 megawatts of energy storage by 2030 and a subsequent target by 2035. The bill outlines various policy mechanisms the Department may use to encourage cost-effective energy storage deployment, such as distribution company programs, procurement of energy storage systems, and using alternative compliance payments. The bill also requires distribution companies and municipal lighting plants to annually report on their progress in meeting the targets and mandates the Department to publish an annual report on the energy storage system target program.
