AI Summary

This bill establishes the Municipal Utility Equity and Innovation Fund, which will provide grants to support municipal utility projects that advance clean energy, energy storage, building decarbonization, distribution capacity, integrated resource planning, and the retirement of fossil fuel facilities or peak energy reduction. The bill prioritizes projects that benefit environmental justice populations, low or moderate-income housing, and elderly housing, as well as projects that advance new and innovative technologies, strategies, and methods to equitably reduce emissions. The bill also exempts municipal lighting plants from certain renewable energy obligations until 2030 and allocates $7.5 million from the Municipal Utility Equity and Innovation Fund to directly support qualifying municipal utilities in meeting those obligations by 2030.
