RELATING TO RENEWABLE ENERGY.
SB 2092 removes biomass energy from the definition of "renewable energy" under the state's renewable portfolio standard (RPS). This change directly affects biomass energy producers, as they will no longer qualify under the RPS requirement for utilities to source a certain percentage of power from renewables. The bill repeals the current statutory language that included biomass in the RPS definition. It is a procedural bill focused solely on redefining eligible energy sources, with no other provisions or mechanisms described. The bill was introduced on January 21, 2026, and is currently pending in committee.
