Bill Summary
Relative to grid modernization and the promotion of local energy investment. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to modernize the electrical grid in Massachusetts by requiring electric distribution companies to create and regularly update Grid Modernization Plans. These plans must evaluate the benefits and costs of local energy resources like renewable generation, energy efficiency, and energy storage, and propose ways to integrate these resources into the grid. The bill also establishes a Grid Modernization Consumer Board to oversee the development and implementation of these plans, with the goal of maximizing the net benefits to ratepayers and achieving climate and environmental goals. Additionally, the bill requires local gas distribution companies to create Fossil Fuel Phase-out and Electrification Plans to help the state transition to a clean, decarbonized energy future by 2050.
