An Act upgrading the grid and protecting ratepayers

This bill updates state laws to expand the definition of clean energy to include various efficiency measures and emerging technologies while establishing new offices focused on environmental justice and equity. It requires state agencies to evaluate energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reductions in their building operations and mandates the creation of a dashboard to track clean energy infrastructure projects and community input. Additionally, the legislation directs the executive office to develop guidelines for siting clean energy facilities that prioritize climate resilience, biodiversity, and equitable benefits for all residents.
