AI Summary
This bill mandates that the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), which is the state agency responsible for overseeing utility services, must publicly announce any changes in whether a renewable energy generator is eligible to produce power or if that generator stops producing energy. Furthermore, the PUC is directed to create and implement rules and regulations that will ensure this information is made available to the public promptly. This change is being made to Chapter 39-26 of the General Laws, which deals with the Renewable Energy Standard, a requirement for a certain percentage of energy to come from renewable sources. The bill will become law as soon as it is passed.
