Bill Summary
Relative to the clean heat standard. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a Clean Heat Standard in Massachusetts, which requires obligated parties (natural gas utilities and other heating fuel providers) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the thermal sector by retiring tradeable Clean Heat Credits. The bill defines key terms, sets annual requirements for credit retirement, requires equitable delivery of clean heat measures to low-income and moderate-income customers, and creates a default delivery agent to provide clean heat measures to these customers. The bill also establishes a Clean Heat Standard Equity Advisory Group to ensure equitable implementation of the program.
