Bill Summary
For legislation to enhance reliability of renewable resources in the Commonwealth. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance the reliability of renewable resources in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It does this by requiring distribution companies to jointly and competitively solicit proposals for "existing energy storage peak renewable power" (energy storage systems that began operations before 2023) and "new energy storage peak renewable power" (energy storage systems that began operations in or after 2020). The bill establishes a process for these solicitations, including the creation of a selection committee and the involvement of an independent evaluator. The bill also allows the Department of Public Utilities to approve cost-effective 10-20 year contracts for this peak renewable power, enabling the transportation of renewable energy from periods of lower demand to periods of higher demand.
