H.3150/S.2117 is a critical bill that ensures the equitable distribution of benefits and burdens of the clean energy transition by requiring municipal utilities (also known as Municipal Light Plants (MLPs) to adhere to the same clean energy goals and requirements as Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs).

In particular, the bill requires MLPs to meet the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) and the Clean Peak Standard (CPS) by 2030 - requirements that the rest of the state is already required to meet. It also establishes a $50 million fund to accelerate the transition to clean energy for environmental justice communities, low- or moderate-income housing, and elderly housing that are being served by MLPs.

This bill is essential for Massachusetts to meet its own clean energy targets on time and in an equitable and just way.
