An Act relative to anaerobic digestion and agricultural energy
This bill updates Massachusetts laws to support anaerobic digestion facilities that generate energy from agricultural waste. It directly affects farms and energy projects that use by-products from crops, food, or animals to create electricity. The legislation allows these specific facilities to count their renewable energy generation twice toward state minimums and exempts them from limits on how much energy they can sell back to the grid. By removing these restrictions, the bill aims to encourage more investment in on-farm renewable energy systems.
