Bill Summary
Relative to utilizing anaerobic digestion technology electric energy renewable generating sources. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote agricultural energy production and reduce greenhouse gases by amending existing laws in Massachusetts. It does this in two key ways: First, it requires the Department of Energy Resources to adopt regulations that provide double credit for renewable energy generated by anaerobic digestion of agricultural waste and byproducts. Second, it exempts agricultural and anaerobic digestion net metering facilities from aggregate net metering capacity caps, allowing them to accrue Class I, II, or III net metering credits. The bill seeks to incentivize the use of anaerobic digestion technology in the agricultural sector as a means of generating renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
