Clean Energy Legislation 2008 • Green Communities Act
Expands EE delivery mechanisms and goals RPS – expansion and strengthening targets of 1997 Act Net metering provisions Establishes DOER’s Green Communities Program
• Global Warming Solutions Act 2020 commitments – 10-25% below 1990 levels 2050 commitments – 80% or more below 1990 levels
• Oceans Management Act Provides zoning-like planning of state waters Identifies presumptive areas for wind development
• Clean Energy Jobs MA Clean Energy Center as clean jobs focal point
• Clean Energy Biofuels Act Support for advanced biofuels Paves way for transition to LCFS
