Modifies the definition of renewable energy resources

HB 193 redefines what qualifies as "renewable energy resources" under state law, expanding the list to include methane from landfills, agricultural operations, wastewater treatment, clean wood (like pallets), and small-scale hydropower (under 10MW). It specifically adds these sources to the existing definition, which already covered wind, solar, and biomass, while clarifying that pumped storage hydropower is excluded. This change directly affects utilities and renewable energy developers who must report renewable energy generation under current programs. The bill does not create new requirements but updates the legal definition to include these additional sources, with future renewable sources requiring certification by the Department of Economic Development.
