Massachusetts H3539 promotes a tactical transition to affordable, clean thermal energy.

Massachusetts H3539 mandates a tactical transition to affordable, clean thermal energy. It requires gas and electric distribution companies to develop joint plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting affordability, and avoiding stranded assets. The Department of Public Utilities must approve these plans. The bill establishes a Thermal Transition Advisory Council to review and recommend on these plans. It also directs the department to promulgate regulations for the installation and operation of utility-scale non-emitting thermal energy systems.
