AI Summary
This bill amends Section 138 of Chapter 164 of the General Laws to include "hydrokinetic" as a type of net metering facility, alongside existing "Class I net metering facility" and "solar net metering facility" provisions. The bill also adds a new definition for "hydrokinetic net metering facility," which encompasses facilities that generate electricity using waves, tides, currents, free-flowing water in rivers, lakes, and streams, as well as ocean thermal energy conversion. This inclusion of hydrokinetic energy sources in the net metering framework aims to promote the development and utilization of this renewable energy technology in Massachusetts.
