SD 1217 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act defining clean energy

SD 1217 amends Chapter 239 of the 2024 acts to clarify definitions related to clean energy storage facilities. It explicitly excludes pumped storage hydropower from both "small" and "large" clean energy storage facility definitions. Additionally, the bill removes an exception allowing nuclear power plants (operating before 2011) from certain provisions, stating existing energy storage systems shall not include such facilities. These changes directly affect how clean energy storage projects are classified under the law.
