Bill > S2223

This bill aims to enhance the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) in Massachusetts. It amends the existing law by increasing the required percentage of electricity sales to end-use customers that must come from Class I renewable energy generating sources. The key provisions include: setting a target of an additional 1% of sales from Class I sources by 2003 or when the cost of renewable technology is within 10% of the average electricity price, followed by incremental increases of 0.5% per year until 2009, 1% per year until 2021, and 3% per year thereafter. The bill also exempts electricity load served under contracts executed or extended before 2019 from any new compliance obligations imposed after 2020.
