HB 6295 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REPEALING THE RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD.

HB 6295 repeals the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), removing a requirement that electric utilities generate a specified percentage of their electricity from renewable sources like wind or solar. This bill directly affects utilities subject to the RPS, eliminating their obligation to meet annual renewable energy targets. The key provision is the deletion of the RPS mandate from Title 16 of the general statutes, which was previously enforced through state regulations. The repeal removes this specific policy requirement without creating new rules or financial obligations.
