Mississippi Energy Security and Agricultural Growth Act; enact.
SB 2922, the Mississippi Energy Security and Agricultural Growth Act, defines new permissible clean energy sources including Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from agricultural waste like poultry litter and livestock manure, and "Advanced Natural Gas" using carbon capture technology. It directly affects Mississippi farmers (especially poultry and livestock producers) by enabling them to convert farm waste into energy via anaerobic digesters and join the state's energy grid as "Energy Harvest Partners." The bill requires utilities to meet clean energy goals using these sources while protecting ratepayers from cost increases or reliability issues by mandating the least-cost energy options and preventing premature retirement of natural gas infrastructure. It aims to diversify Mississippi's energy portfolio, attract investment, and support agricultural economic growth through specific energy definitions and grid integration mechanisms.
