HB 6306 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING SMALL HYDROPOWER FACILITIES.

HB 6306 establishes a program requiring electric distribution companies to pay small hydropower facilities (with capacity of 3.5 megawatts or less) a set tariff for electricity they supply. The tariff equals the company's standard Rate 1 price per kilowatt-hour, paid monthly for all electricity delivered. The program is capped at a total of 60 megawatts of generating capacity statewide. This directly affects small hydropower facility owners by creating a guaranteed payment mechanism for their electricity.
