AI Summary

This bill requires the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, the Secretary of Transportation, and the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection (the "Board") to develop a comprehensive energy plan for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts every three years. The plan must prioritize energy conservation, efficiency, and renewable resources to meet the state's energy needs for electricity, transportation, and building heating, while also considering greenhouse gas and air pollution reduction goals. The plan must be consistent with the state's climate adaptation plan and all relevant laws and policies, and must be developed in consultation with various state agencies, electric and gas utilities, and a 15-member Energy Plan Advisory Committee. The final plan must be made available for public comment and then filed with the state legislature.
