Modifies the definition of renewable energy resources
HB 1865 updates the legal definition of renewable energy resources within the state's energy statutes. The bill specifically expands the list of qualifying sources to include dedicated energy crops, agricultural residues, landfill methane, and certain types of wood, while clarifying rules for hydropower and hydrogen fuel cells. These changes directly affect electric utilities and the state departments responsible for regulating energy production and tradeable energy certificates. By modifying section 393.1025, the legislation ensures that future energy sources certified as renewable after November 4, 2008, are included in the state's definition.
