Rhode Island S2351 removes clean coal as a renewable fuel given priority in energy generation projects.

Rhode Island S2351 amends the Energy Facility Siting Act by removing clean coal as a renewable fuel given priority in energy generation projects. The act modifies the siting board's criteria for prioritizing energy projects, removing clean coal technology from the list of preferred fuels. The act also updates the definition of "major energy facility" to include various energy-related facilities and processes. The changes aim to ensure energy projects meet state energy needs and environmental standards.
