An Act reforming the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company board of directors
This bill reformers the board of directors for the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company to include more diverse representation and specific expertise. It changes the board composition to include four directors appointed by the governor, who must have backgrounds in environmental justice, clean energy policy, or work within the state's energy office, alongside seven directors elected by member cities and towns. Additionally, the bill updates the criteria for public interest decisions to explicitly consider safety, reliability, affordability, equity, and greenhouse gas emissions reductions, while also tightening rules for determining when energy can be sold to other entities.
