Development of Thermal Energy Resources

Summary

The bill gives cities, counties, special districts and other local entities clear legal authority to aggregate thermal‑energy demand, sign service agreements with private partners and issue bonds to build thermal‑energy networks. It also creates a framework for small‑scale geothermal projects and data collection on geothermal resources. By removing regulatory uncertainty, the law aims to lower costs and expand clean heating options for residents, especially in small and rural communities.
