This bill amends the definition of "renewable generation facility" in RSA 72:73 to clarify the types of energy sources that qualify for this designation. The new language specifies that a renewable generation facility must produce electric energy for resale solely by the exclusive use of various renewable energy sources, including geothermal, tidal, wave, wind, solar thermal, photovoltaic, landfill gas, hydro, biomass, bio-oil, bio synthetic gas, and biodiesel. The definition encompasses not only the facility itself but also the land, rights, easements, and necessary improvements associated with the production of power. The bill does not indicate any deletions from the current law but focuses on refining the existing definition to ensure clarity regarding the exclusive use of renewable energy sources. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
