relative to utility requirements for integrated distribution planning.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires electric and gas utilities in New Hampshire to submit detailed ten-year distribution plans to the state commission within five years of its effective date. These plans must include forecasts for future energy demand, assessments of efficiency programs and infrastructure needs, and evaluations of alternative solutions like non-wires options for electricity and non-pipeline options for gas. The commission will review each plan through a public process, approving, rejecting, or modifying it within one year, with the goal of improving grid reliability, resilience, and cost-effectiveness while aligning with the state's broader energy strategy.

relative to architectural paint recycling.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a new program in New Hampshire requiring manufacturers of architectural paint to create and maintain a system for collecting and recycling leftover paint from consumers. To fund this effort, the legislation mandates adding a fee to the purchase price of all architectural paint sold in the state, with the collected money used to support the recycling initiative. Under the plan, manufacturers must set up collection sites so that residents have access to a drop-off location within a 25-mile radius, while wholesalers and retailers are required to provide educational materials and signage to encourage participation. The Department of Environmental Services will oversee the program, approve manufacturer proposals, and enforce rules that prohibit the sale of paint by manufacturers who fail to comply with these recycling requirements.
