SB 96 modifies Connecticut's definition of Class I renewable energy sources, which are energy types that qualify for renewable energy credits and grid integration incentives. The bill adjusts which energy generation methods count toward the state's renewable portfolio standards and clean energy goals. This definitional change affects how utilities and energy producers meet state renewable energy mandates.
Connecticut uses renewable energy classifications to drive investment in clean power and track progress toward decarbonization targets. Expanding or narrowing the Class I definition directly impacts which projects receive financial support, how utilities comply with state law, and ultimately the state's ability to meet climate commitments. It also affects energy costs for consumers and competitiveness of different energy technologies.
