AN ACT REDEFINING CLASS I ENERGY SOURCES AND ELIMINATING PROGRAMS FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF POWER FROM FUEL CELLS AND OTHER CARBON-EMITTING POWER SOURCES.

SB 894 redefines "Class I renewable energy sources" to include nuclear power generated within the state while excluding carbon-emitting power sources located outside the state. It eliminates programs funded by ratepayers (electricity customers) that previously procured power from fuel cells or other carbon-emitting sources. The bill directly affects ratepayers through changes to energy funding mechanisms and energy providers who rely on these procurement programs. Key policy changes include updating renewable energy classifications and ending state-funded programs for carbon-emitting power generation, regardless of location.
