This bill amends the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act of November 30, 2004, specifically updating the definitions of "alternative energy sources" and "tier I alternative energy source." The new legal language introduces the concept of "linear generators," which are defined as integrated systems that convert linear motion into electricity without combustion, are dispatchable, and can utilize various fuel types, including renewable options like hydrogen, ammonia, and biogas.

Additionally, the bill specifies that linear generators will be recognized as a tier I alternative energy source, thereby enhancing their status within the framework of Pennsylvania's renewable energy standards. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
