HB 1542 (2026)
Study renewable energy standard, fund
This bill did not become law.
Reduces the alternative compliance payment rate for the Renewable Energy Fund to zero. In other words, electric service providers would no longer have to pay a penalty for missing renewable energy requirements.
The House amended the bill to instead rebate Alternative Compliance Payments back to the ratepayers. This bill would effectively cut funding for Renewable Energy Fund programs, such as the low-moderate income solar program.
The Senate rewrote the bill, instead establishing a committee to study New Hampshire's electric renewable portfolio standard and the Renewable Energy Fund.
