AI Summary

This bill prohibits the Department of Public Utilities from approving a long-term contract for offshore wind energy generation if the levelized price per megawatt hour, plus associated transmission costs, is greater than or equal to the adjusted levelized price per megawatt hour, plus transmission costs, that resulted from a previous procurement. The bill also requires the department to adjust the price for the availability of federal tax credits, inflation, and incentives, but excludes mitigation efforts that create and foster employment and economic development in the Commonwealth. The bill applies to contracts subject to review by the department as of July 1, 2019, and Section 1 of the bill is repealed effective July 1, 2020.
