Bill Summary
An act relating to energy infrastructure investment; amending s. 366.075, F.S.; requiring the Public Service Commission to establish an experimental mechanism that meets certain requirements to facilitate certain energy infrastructure investments in gas; providing requirements for gas infrastructure investments; defining the term "gas"; requiring the commission to adopt rules and propose such rules by a specified date; specifying matters that such rules must address; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) to establish an experimental mechanism to support energy infrastructure investments specifically related to gas, with a narrow definition of gas as anaerobically generated biogas, landfill gas, or wastewater treatment gas produced in Florida that has been refined to at least 90% methane content. These infrastructure investments can only involve collecting, preparing, cleaning, processing, transporting, or injecting gas for use as a transportation fuel or for pipeline distribution. The PSC must develop and propose rules for this mechanism by January 1, 2026, which must include provisions for allocating benefits from tradeable energy credits and tax savings to utility customers, and address how revenues from gas sales for transportation purposes will be handled. The bill is structured to encourage alternative gas infrastructure development using locally produced, refined biogas, with an implementation date of July 1, 2025. This approach aims to support renewable gas infrastructure while ensuring consumer protections and potential economic benefits are built into the regulatory framework.
