Bill Summary
Relative to energy efficiency funds generated by municipal light plants. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure that at least 80 percent of the funds generated by the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and the NOx Allowance Trading Program are used to equitably fund electric energy efficiency programs. It requires that these programs be reviewed and approved by the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) and administered by Municipal Light Plant (MLP) Program Administrators. The bill also amends Chapter 25 to allow the DPU to require electric distribution companies and municipal aggregators to charge a mandatory fee of 2.5 mills per kilowatt-hour to fund energy efficiency programs. Additionally, the bill establishes reporting requirements for MLP Program Administrators and provides for the periodic transfer of funds to them, subject to certain conditions.
