Bill Summary

Relative to bioenergy gasification net metering and renewable energy production. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill aims to encourage greater renewable energy production in rural Massachusetts by amending the state's laws to include "bioenergy gasification net metering facilities" as a type of renewable energy generation source that qualifies for net metering. Net metering allows renewable energy producers to receive credits on their utility bills for the excess electricity they generate and feed back into the grid. The bill defines a "bioenergy gasification net metering facility" as one that generates electricity from biogas produced by the gasification of organic materials and is determined by the Department of Energy Resources to qualify as a Class I renewable energy source.
