Bill Summary
Relative to the location and classification of certain renewable energy generating sources in relation to their proximity to environmental justice communities. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to address the location and classification of certain renewable energy generating sources in relation to their proximity to environmental justice communities. The key provision of the bill is that a new renewable energy generating source or an existing facility that increases its generating capacity after July 31, 2021, will not qualify as a "Class I" renewable generating source if it is located within a certain distance of a neighborhood defined as an environmental justice population and its operation releases air pollutants. This measure is intended to ensure that renewable energy projects do not disproportionately impact already disadvantaged environmental justice communities.
