Some US states are actively trying to make things a little more difficult for citizens interested in using renewable energy. Massachusetts, however, is trying to make it easier. The state Senate unanimously passed a law last week increasing the incentives to utilize renewable energy. The bill will now move to the house.
The new law will increase the required amount of power utility companies must buy. and aims to curb energy costs at the same time. According to the new law, utility companies will no longer conduct one on one negotiations with renewable power companies- but are required to competitively bid for these long term contracts.t
In a statement, Senate President Therese Murray said "the bill will help bring down the state's high electricity costs without compromising its commitment to renewable energy."
