HB 2657 -- RENEWABLE ENERGY

SPONSOR: Costlow

This bill adds nuclear energy to the sources of energy considered alternative or renewable in multiple state programs.

The bill also changes an electrical corporation's portfolio requirement from no less than 15% to 7.5% of electricity from renewable energy resources in each calendar year beginning 2026. An electrical corporation must reach an amount of renewable energy technology nameplate capacity equal to or greater than 7.5%, instead of 15% as currently provided, to be exempt from certain subsidies, fees, or rebates.

This bill is similar to SB 838 (2025).
