AN ACT CONCERNING THE PURCHASE OF ENERGY CREDITS FROM OUT-OF-STATE PROVIDERS.
HB 5942 (2025) would amend Connecticut law to permit electric suppliers to purchase renewable energy credits from providers outside the state. This change directly affects electric utilities and energy providers operating in Connecticut by expanding their allowable sources for meeting renewable energy requirements. The key provision removes current restrictions, allowing suppliers to source these credits from out-of-state renewable energy projects. The bill focuses solely on enabling this purchasing option without altering existing renewable energy targets or requirements.
