Summary

The bill changes state law so that electricity generated by natural‑gas combined‑cycle plants counts as renewable energy. This affects rural electric cooperatives, public utilities and any generators seeking renewable energy certificates. It matters because it expands what can be reported toward renewable‑energy goals, potentially lowering compliance costs while reclassifying a fossil‑fuel technology.
