Bill Summary

For legislation relative to anaerobic digestion. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws to provide additional incentives for the use of anaerobic digestion technology in renewable energy generation. Specifically, it allows electric energy generated from anaerobic digestion of agricultural, food, or animal waste to count double towards the state's minimum renewable energy requirements. It also exempts the first 25 megawatts of capacity from agricultural net metering facilities using anaerobic digestion technology from aggregate net metering capacity caps. These provisions are intended to encourage the development and use of anaerobic digestion as a renewable energy source, particularly for agricultural operations.
