ADDENDUM
To Fiscal Note on
sSB-176, File No. 348
AN ACT CONCERNING CLEAN ENERGY TARIFF PROGRAMS.
Primary Analyst: MM 4/12/22
Contributing Analyst(s):
The scope of electricity supplies impacted by the bill would be
encompassed by two state programs that subsidize certain ratepayers*
at a cost to other (non-participating) ratepayers. Thus, any residential
ratepayers (for example) who do not participate in either program
would see their electricity rates increase by an estimated $6.00 in total
each year** once the programs have expanded fully (over the span of a
few years) in accordance with the bill.
*Low-income ratepayers under the Shared Cleaner Energy Facilities
(SCEF) program; Commercial or industrial ratepayers with renewable
energy projects under the Non-Residential Energy Solutions (NRES)
program
**According to calculations by the Department of Energy and
Environmental Protection
