S 2130 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to monthly minimum reliability contributions

This bill modifies Massachusetts energy laws to exempt specific groups from paying a monthly minimum reliability contribution. The changes directly affect municipal ratepayers, low-income customers, community solar subscribers, and owners of small solar projects up to 25 kilowatts. By removing these groups from the requirement, the legislation ensures they do not have to pay the fixed fee regardless of their actual energy usage. The update is made to an existing section of the General Laws governing utility contributions.
