SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Electric utilities; renewable thermal energy. Expands the definition of "renewable thermal energy" to include the energy output from certain solar energy systems located in the Commonwealth that heat air or water for residential, commercial, institutional, or industrial processes. Under current law, the term encompasses only the energy output from renewable-fueled combined heat and power facilities used in industrial processes. Renewable thermal energy is eligible to satisfy the goals of the renewable energy portfolio standard program. The measure also defines "solar energy system" as a system that produces heat or electricity, or both, from sunlight.
