An Act to assure the attainment of greenhouse gas emissions goals in the alternative portfolio standard

This bill modifies Massachusetts laws governing the Alternative Portfolio Standard, which sets renewable energy requirements for electricity providers. The legislation removes specific conditions and definitions related to biomass and waste-to-energy plants from the statute. By deleting these terms, the bill simplifies the rules for how utilities can count toward their renewable energy targets without mandating sustainable forestry practices for biomass fuel. This change directly affects energy companies and regulators who administer the state's renewable energy standards.
