Redraft Amendment 13

Promoting Green Power from Anaerobic Digestion

Ms. Chandler, Ms. Gobi, Ms. L'Italien, Messrs. Rodrigues, Brady, Lewis, OConnor and Pacheco and Ms. O'Connor Ives move to amend the amendment by adding after Section 4, the following Section:-

"SECTION 4A. Subsection (f) of said section 139 of said chapter 164, as so amended, is hereby further amended by inserting after the second sentence the following sentence: Notwithstanding the total aggregate capacity of net metering facilities in this subsection, there shall also be an additional 50 megawatts alternating current of capacity in a separate and distinct cap across all distribution companies’ service territories for anaerobic digestion net metering facilities, provided, however that the aggregate capacity of such facilities shall be distinguished on the basis of whether each facility is a net metering facility of a municipality or other governmental entity so that a distribution company may calculate the appropriate net metering credit. If the separate and distinct anaerobic digestion cap of 50 megawatts alternating current is met, then anaerobic digestion facilities have the option of seeking a cap allocation from the all-technology cap.

This section shall be effective 60 days after the effective date of this act."
