The bill proposes changes in the definition of "carbon-free" energy in Minnesota. It specifies that carbon-free energy now includes technologies that generate electricity without emitting carbon dioxide and are involved with using wood chips from timber byproducts or discarded wood products for at least 50% of a utility's annual retail electricity sales in Minnesota. Additionally, it outlines other energy sources considered eligible including solar, wind, small and large hydroelectric, hydrogen, and biomass with certain restrictions. The bill also defines terms related to electric utilities and environmental justice areas, identifying areas that face greater socio-economic challenges or have significant non-English speaking populations. The intent is to update and clarify what constitutes carbon-free and renewable energy, potentially guiding future energy policies and regulations within the state.
