Rhode Island S2764 amends the state's Renewable Energy Standard to include nuclear and large-scale hydroelectric power as eligible zero-emission resources. The bill sets rules for how these resources qualify and mandates that 100% of Rhode Island's retail electricity sales come from renewable and zero-emission resources by 2040. It also updates compliance payments and procurement rules, and requires the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission to certify eligible resources and establish sanctions for non-compliance.
