AI Summary

This bill aims to promote the production of renewable power through agricultural anaerobic digestion facilities. It establishes an incentive program to support non-solar renewable energy resources under five megawatts that qualify for the Class I renewable energy portfolio standard. The program will be tariff-based, with the Department of Energy Resources responsible for setting eligibility criteria, incentive methodology, and directing distribution companies to file a model tariff for implementation. The bill also provides a one-time procurement process for existing anaerobic digestion facilities that are operational and Class I qualified prior to the effective date of the bill, with the total megawatts procured equal to the combined capacity of all eligible facilities.
