An Act relative to energy efficiency funds generated by municipal light plants

This bill directs at least 80% of funds from regional carbon trading programs (like the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative) toward energy efficiency programs. It requires municipal light plants (MLPs) to administer these programs, with funding tied to specific reporting and alignment with state efficiency goals. The bill also establishes a mandatory 2.5 mills per kilowatt-hour charge (excluding MLP customers) to fund efficiency programs, alongside existing carbon trading funds. MLPs must submit annual reports on program spending and savings to qualify for these funds.
