AI Summary

This bill provides low- and moderate-income customers with comprehensive energy efficiency services and building electrification, along with onsite renewable energy generation and energy storage. Specifically, it requires electric distribution companies or municipal aggregators with certified efficiency plans to submit proposed offerings to the Department of Public Utilities by January 1, 2024. These offerings must promote the adoption of whole building energy efficiency measures, fully displace fossil fuel heating, cooling, and cooking equipment (excluding outdoor grills), and encourage the installation of onsite renewable energy generation and energy storage. The costs incurred under this program can be recovered through funding sources authorized under existing law. By August 1, 2028, the Department must file a report detailing the results of the offerings, including an analysis of costs, benefits, and scalability, as well as recommendations for legislative changes to energy efficiency and renewable energy generation incentive programs.
