Summary –
The bill would provide fossil fuel facilities that aren’t owned or operated by utilities with free Climate Commitment Act allowances to cover their emissions from generating power delivered in the state. It would also provide them to cover their costs in complying with the Acts’ requirements. These free allowances would continue through 2044. The bill says that it’s providing them “in order to mitigate the cost burden of the program on electricity customers,” but it doesn’t actually include any requirement for reducing customers’ costs.
