AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Reclaim Renewable Energy Act of 2023," alters the definitions of "qualifying biomass," "thermal biomass system," and "Tier 1 renewable source" in Maryland's Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS) to exclude energy derived from certain forest-related resources, animal manure, waste, and refuse gas produced from the anaerobic decomposition of animal or poultry waste. The bill aims to modify the RPS to no longer consider these sources as eligible for inclusion in meeting the renewable energy requirements. The bill specifies that it applies to all RPS compliance years starting on or after January 1, 2023, and takes effect on October 1, 2023.
