HB 1738 (2026)
Update RGGI emissions budget and triggers, other energy law changes
This bill is still active.
Adjusts the carbon dioxide emissions budget allowances and cost containment reserve triggers for the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) from 2027 onwards. According to the Department of Environmental Services and the Department of Energy, this bill implements the third RGGI Program Review adopted by all participating states. At the time of this bill's submission, beginning in 2027, New Hampshire's allowance structure would no longer align with RGGI program requirements.
The Senate amended the bill to add provisions from HB 221, related to purchase power agreements (PPAs) with "advanced nuclear resources" and requests for proposals for multi-year agreements for energy.
