AB 2750 would extend requirements on electric investor-owned utilities (IOUs) and community choice aggregators (CCAs) to procure energy from biomass generating electric facilities by two years. Also expands eligibility of the five-year extensions for procurement contracts from biomass facilities to include facilities located in areas that voluntarily reclassified their air pollutant levels to “severe” or “extreme” but still have documented levels below those more restricted levels.
“AB 2750 ensures the continued operation of vital biomass facilities in California. This legislation is crucial for meeting our state’s renewable energy goals and effectively managing forest waste.” – Assemblyman James Gallagher
