OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: See Below
Municipal Impact: See Below
Explanation
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
Senate amendments "A" and "B" made minor changes.
The Out Years
Any fiscal impact would continue into the future, subject to inflation.
