Bill > HB2729

This bill modifies provisions for renewable energy resources by increasing the required percentage of electricity that electric utilities must generate or purchase from renewable sources, with escalating targets reaching 100% by December 31, 2061, and mandates that at least 2% of this must come from solar energy. It also expands the definition of renewable energy resources to include energy storage and fuel cells using hydrogen produced from renewable sources, while also introducing specific provisions for "accelerated renewable buyers" who are large customers that can contract for renewable energy and receive exemptions from certain compliance costs. The bill also adjusts solar rebate amounts and timelines, and clarifies that penalties for non-compliance will not be recovered from customers, with forfeited amounts being used for renewable energy projects. The "Commission" refers to the public service commission, and the "Department" refers to the department of commerce and insurance, both of which play roles in implementing these renewable energy standards.
