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 sales from clean peak resources, such as renewable energy generators, energy storage systems, and demand response resources, during seasonal peak periods. The bill also directs the Department of Energy Resources to investigate the necessity, benefits, and costs of requiring additional offshore wind generation procurements in the state.
