AI Summary

This bill aims to improve the reliability and resiliency of electricity distribution infrastructure. It requires that when a municipality or the Commonwealth undertakes a significant project on a public way that exposes wastewater infrastructure, they must provide written notification to the electrical utility. The utility must then survey the project area for the reliability of electrical distribution lines, review repair and replacement schedules for those lines, and assess the resiliency of electrical transmission lines in the face of climate impacts like coastal storms. The utility must then provide the repair and replacement schedule for the transmission lines to the municipality or the Commonwealth.
