Committee grants interim study for biomass RPS change in SB 539
Summary
Sponsor Mark McConkie requested and the committee approved an interim study for SB 539 to allow more stakeholder work on proposed RPS changes affecting biomass plants and REC markets.
Sen. Mark McConkie asked the committee to place Senate Bill 539 on interim study so stakeholders (biomass/wood-to-energy and timber industry) could continue to refine proposals to move New Hampshire biomass plants into class 3 of the renewable portfolio standard. Committee members expressed no opposition and the motion to interim study was moved and carried on voice vote.
Why it matters Sponsor and industry witnesses emphasized REC market dynamics and the need to avoid unintended consequences to the biomass industry’s sustainability. The interim study will give time for coordinated input from utilities, industry and other stakeholders.
Ending The committee approved the interim-study motion at the sponsor’s request and closed the hearing.
