Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO ENERGY; AMENDING A SECTION OF THE RENEWABLE ENERGY ACT TO PROVIDE THAT NUCLEAR ENERGY IS A RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Renewable Energy Act in New Mexico to provide that nuclear energy is considered a renewable energy source. The bill modifies the definition of "renewable energy" in the existing law to include nuclear energy, alongside other renewable sources like solar, wind, and geothermal. This change would allow nuclear energy to be counted towards a public utility's renewable energy portfolio standard, which requires a certain percentage of retail electricity sales to be supplied by renewable energy.
