An act relating to miscellaneous subjects related to the Public Utility Commission

This bill creates a Legislative Working Group on Renewable Energy Standard Reform to draft new legislation for Vermont's 2024 session. The group will include representatives from state lawmakers, utility companies, environmental organizations, and community groups to study energy policy issues. Its main tasks involve examining how to improve grid stability, identify barriers to achieving 100 percent renewable energy by 2030, and evaluate the economic and environmental impacts of proposed changes. The working group must submit its draft legislation and findings report to state committees by December 1, 2023, with members receiving compensation for attending up to eight meetings.
