Bill Summary
Relative to the participation of communities served by municipal light plants in the green communities program. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to remove barriers for municipal power communities to participate in the Green Communities program. The key provisions are:
1. Allowing a municipality within a municipal light plant's service territory to participate in the Green Communities program, even if the entire municipal light plant service area does not participate.
2. Requiring the Division of Energy Resources to issue regulations within 1 year to enable municipal light plant communities to participate in the Green Communities program, including provisions for the municipal light plant to collect and remit a 0.5 mil per kilowatt-hour charge to the Renewable Energy Trust Fund on behalf of the participating municipality.
3. Allowing a single municipality within a municipal light plant's service area to participate in the program with just a majority vote of the municipality's legislative body, without requiring agreement from other municipalities served by the same municipal light plant.
