The measure also provides that any locality may specify a minimum percentage of the aggregated electrical energy that is required to be generated from renewable energy sources when it authorizes the aggregation (i) of the electric energy load of the customers within its boundaries or (ii) of the energy load of its governmental buildings, facilities, and operations, for purposes of negotiating the purchase of electrical energy requirements from a licensed supplier.
