HB 583 Original 2025 Regular Session Jacob Landry
Abstract: Provides for energy security and affordability and provides the criteria for reliable energy
sources including green energy and clean energy.
Proposed law provides for the Dept. of Energy and Natural Resources to work with the Public
Service Commission to ensure the state's energy sources are domestically produced and that
infrastructure that minimizes reliance on foreign energy sources are prioritized.
Proposed law provides for "affordable energy sources" to be stable and cost effective resources and
to include energy generated by hydrocarbons as a resource.
Proposed law provides for "reliable energy sources" to be readily available and to include energy
generated by hydrocarbons as a resource and to provide for grid stability.
Proposed law redefines "green energy" to include energy that uses resources in which emissions are
equivalent to the standard set by pipeline quality natural gas that releases reduced air pollutants,
includes energy generated by nuclear reactors and includes energy generated using natural gas as a
resource.
Proposed law provides that the definition of "green energy" in proposed law is applicable to all
programs within the state that fund any "clean energy" or "green energy" initiatives.
