Bill > SB00090

This bill requires the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection to submit a comprehensive report to the General Assembly about battery storage technology. The report must cover three key areas: (1) the costs associated with battery storage technology, (2) how these costs impact ratepayer bills, including a detailed explanation of the battery storage technology used by each public service company, and (3) the environmental implications of battery storage technology, specifically focusing on the environmental effects of acquiring the materials needed to create these batteries and the environmental consequences of disposing of the batteries after they are no longer useful. By mandating this report, the bill aims to provide legislators and the public with a clear understanding of the financial and environmental aspects of battery storage technology, which is becoming increasingly important in the transition to renewable energy sources.
