Establishes framework for equitable allocation of clean energy benefits in Massachusetts.

The bill mandates the undersecretary of environmental justice and equity to oversee the equitable distribution of clean energy benefits across the Commonwealth. It requires the undersecretary to develop a definition of clean energy benefits, considering factors such as pollution reduction, economic development, and energy cost reduction. The undersecretary must also create a framework for tracking and monitoring these benefits, ensuring they are proportional to the population in environmental justice and low-income communities.
