AI Summary

This bill aims to promote the production of renewable power through agricultural anaerobic digestion facilities. It amends the state's General Laws to allow existing anaerobic digestion facilities that are qualified as Class I renewable energy sources to participate in a one-time procurement program for renewable energy certificates. The Department of Energy Resources will determine the eligibility criteria for these facilities, with the total megawatts procured equal to the combined capacity of all eligible facilities. The one-time procurement will have a ceiling price equal to or greater than the alternative compliance payment rate, but not exceeding double that rate.
