Bill Summary

To increase renewable energy and reduce high-cost peak hours

AI Summary

This bill aims to increase the use of renewable energy and reduce the costs of high-demand peak hours in Massachusetts. It establishes a "Clean Peak Standard" that requires retail electricity suppliers to provide a minimum percentage of their electricity sales from "Clean Peak Resources" (which include qualified renewable energy and energy storage systems) during periods of peak electricity demand. The bill also increases the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requirements over time. The bill provides details on the implementation of the Clean Peak Standard, including a competitive credit system, compliance mechanisms, and prioritization of credits for certain facilities. The overall goal is to promote renewable energy and manage peak electricity demand in a cost-effective manner.
