An Act relative to municipal light plants

This bill modifies Massachusetts law to allow municipal lighting plants and energy cooperatives to keep certain business information private. Specifically, it exempts these entities from standard open meeting and public record rules when disclosing data could harm their customers or competitive standing. The changes apply to trade secrets and competitively sensitive information shared during operations as municipal aggregators or within government-run cooperatives. By restricting access to this specific data, the legislation aims to protect the financial and operational interests of local power providers without altering broader transparency requirements for private utilities.
