Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTRIC UTILITIES; AMENDING DEFINITIONS IN THE RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE ACT AND THE RENEWABLE ENERGY ACT.

AI Summary

This bill amends the definitions in the Rural Electric Cooperative Act and the Renewable Energy Act. It introduces the term "clean hydrogen electric generation facility," which refers to a facility that uses 100% hydrogen to generate electricity, with permanent sequestration of the carbon dioxide produced and the use of responsibly sourced gas. The bill also clarifies the definition of "permanent sequestration of carbon dioxide" and "responsibly sourced gas." Additionally, it expands the definition of "zero carbon resource" to include clean hydrogen electric generation facilities. The changes aim to provide a legal framework for the use of clean hydrogen in electricity generation and the sequestration of associated carbon dioxide emissions.
