Bill Summary
Relative to Class I renewable energy generating sources. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of Class I and Class II renewable energy generating sources in Massachusetts. It expands the criteria for Class I renewable sources to include new and relicensed hydroelectric facilities, provided they meet certain environmental standards, and limits the capacity to 30 megawatts. It also clarifies that existing hydroelectric facilities up to 7.5 megawatts can qualify as Class II renewable sources, again subject to environmental standards. Additionally, it specifies that waste-to-energy facilities must operate recycling programs to be considered Class II renewable sources.
