AI Summary
This bill amends Rhode Island's Renewable Energy Standard, which requires entities that sell electricity at retail to customers in the state to obtain a certain percentage of that electricity from eligible renewable energy sources. Specifically, the bill extends the timeline for achieving the goal of 100% of Rhode Island's electricity demand being met by renewable energy from 2033 to 2044, adjusting the annual percentage increases accordingly. The bill also clarifies that for certain existing supply contracts, the renewable energy requirements are exempted until the contract's end date.
