Summary

This bill would expand the definition of eligible energy sources under the state's renewable energy portfolio standard to include zero-carbon nuclear power facilities operating within the Commonwealth. By classifying nuclear energy as an eligible renewable source, the legislation would allow electric utilities to count nuclear generation toward their renewable energy portfolio requirements. This change aims to recognize nuclear power's role as a carbon-free electricity generation method alongside traditional renewable sources like wind and solar.
