Bill > A4861

This bill requires the State to include a distributed energy resource, such as microturbines, fuel cells, or solar panels, in certain new State buildings with at least 15,000 square feet of floor area. It also requires the State to consider retrofitting existing State buildings of the same size with a distributed energy resource when preparing to reconstruct, renovate, repair, or improve those buildings. These requirements are meant to ensure that State buildings can continue to function if the normal source of electricity is disrupted due to a power outage.
