An Act limiting the eligibility of woody biomass as an alternative energy supply
This bill prohibits intermediate and large power plants from counting woody biomass as an alternative energy source. It applies to facilities that have not already been officially recognized as alternative energy units by the Department of Energy Resources before January 1, 2023. By removing woody biomass from eligibility for these specific large-scale generators, the legislation changes how energy production is classified and potentially regulated under state law.
