For legislation to require certain wind turbine projects to report production statistics. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill requires wind turbine projects that have received financial assistance from the Commonwealth, such as grants, loans, or credits from the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Trust, or federal funds managed by the state, to report their electricity production statistics. Specifically, these projects must submit their monthly production data, measured in megawatts per hour, to the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) within 30 days of the end of each calendar year. This data must be verified by an independent third-party auditor approved by the DOER, and the DOER will then make this information publicly available on its website, promoting transparency in wind energy generation.
