Bill Summary
For legislation to promote local energy investment and infrastructure modernization. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote local energy investment and infrastructure modernization. It requires electric distribution companies in Massachusetts to create and file Grid Modernization Plans every three years, which must include evaluating the benefits and costs of local energy resources, providing information about interconnecting distributed renewable generation facilities, proposing locational incentives for deploying cost-effective local energy resources, and identifying any additional spending necessary to integrate these resources into distribution planning. The bill also establishes a Grid Modernization Consumer Board to review and approve these plans, with the goal of maximizing net benefits through the use of distributed energy resources and achieving transmission, reliability, climate, and environmental goals.
