An Act relative to energy affordability, clean power and economic competitiveness

Summary

The bill adds new rules that any Massachusetts agency proposing regulations or programs to meet greenhouse‑gas limits must first assess and publicly disclose their impact on energy costs for residential customers, especially low‑income households, and on the operating costs of businesses. If the assessment shows unreasonable cost increases, the agency must change the proposal or find another way to meet the goal. The changes are meant to balance clean‑energy targets with affordability and economic competitiveness.
