Bill Summary

For legislation to increase the amount of clean energy generation. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill aims to increase the amount of clean energy generation in Massachusetts. It does this by amending sections of the state's 2016 energy legislation to allow the Department of Energy Resources to require additional solicitations and procurements for offshore wind and hydropower projects beyond the initially set targets of 1,600 megawatts of offshore wind and 9,450,000 megawatt-hours of hydropower. Additionally, the bill increases the state's renewable energy portfolio standard from 7.5% to 30%, which requires electric utilities to source a larger percentage of their electricity from renewable sources.
