Bill Summary
For legislation relative to energy efficiency funds generated by municipal lighting plants. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 25 of the General Laws to allow municipal lighting plants to fund their energy efficiency and demand-side management programs using revenue generated from cap-and-trade pollution control programs, such as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The bill requires that at least 80% of the allocated funds be returned to the municipal lighting plants for implementing these programs, which can be administered through the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company or Energy New England LLC. The bill also requires municipal lighting plants to include an itemization of these expenditures in their annual filings, and allows them to opt-out of the program if they choose.
