Emergency Preamble
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purposes, which are to achieve the 2050 statewide emissions limit of net zero greenhouse gas emissions; support the Commonwealth’s continued procurement of large-scale domestic renewable energy resources including offshore wind, and future authorized additional procurements to commence in the coming years; meet the Commonwealth’s greenhouse gas reduction requirements through large-scale and long-duration energy storage resources to balance the variability of renewable generation and fill in energy gaps; address the barriers faced by pumped storage and other long-duration energy storage resources to full utilization; and fully utilize all domestic energy storage resources available to the Commonwealth to reach the net zero greenhouse gas emissions limit, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public safety and health.
