Bill Summary
Relative to the reliability of renewable resources in the Commonwealth. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance the reliability of renewable energy resources in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It establishes two new definitions: "Existing energy storage peak renewable power" and "New energy storage peak renewable power," which refer to energy storage systems that transport renewable energy from periods of lower demand to periods of higher demand. The bill requires distribution companies to jointly and competitively solicit proposals for both existing and new energy storage peak renewable power and enter into cost-effective 10-20 year contracts, subject to the approval of the Department of Public Utilities. The bill also outlines the process for solicitations, bid selection, and contract approval, and grants the Department of Energy Resources and the Department of Public Utilities the authority to promulgate regulations and take other actions to ensure the implementation of the provisions.
