Utility & Energy Changes

This bill allows public utilities to apply for a waiver from renewable energy standards if meeting them would significantly raise residential rates. If granted, the waiver would permit utilities to build or buy carbon-based energy facilities and operate them for their useful life, or purchase out-of-state carbon-based energy. The bill also creates a voluntary program for natural gas producers to certify their gas as "low-emission" and offers a corporate income tax credit for installing technology that reduces greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas production.
