TO: | Honorable Jim Keffer, Chair, House Committee on Energy Resources |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2194 by Christian (Relating to the goal of installing additional capacity for generating renewable energy.), As Introduced |
The bill would require the Public Utility Commission to adopt rules to establish a minimum annual renewable energy requirement, including a minimum annual requirement for the installation of generating capacity from renewable energy technologies other than wind energy technologies. The bill would also require the Public Utility Commission to adopt rules specifying reasonable performance standards that all renewable capacity additions must meet to qualify as meeting the goal of the bill.
The Public Utility Commission anticipates any additional work resulting from the passage of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within current resources.
