Bill > S1574

This bill requires the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) to establish an experimental mechanism to support energy infrastructure investments in specific types of gas, namely anaerobically generated biogas, landfill gas, and wastewater treatment gas that has been refined to at least 90% methane content. The mechanism is intended to facilitate investments in infrastructure that can collect, prepare, clean, process, transport, or inject this 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 like tradeable energy credits and tax savings to public utility customers, as well as addressing how revenues from gas sales for transportation purposes will be treated. The bill draws inspiration from existing statutory structures related to energy infrastructure and is designed to promote the development and use of renewable gas sources. The proposed mechanism will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing a clear timeline for implementation.
