Based on testimony, the continued operation of these plants and the jobs they support are in dire jeopardy due to the region's over-reliance on natural gas-fired power. One plant has closed, and owners of another two plants have informed employees that, due to significant financial losses over a number of years, they will close those plants this year absent legislative action to maintain operation and to protect these jobs. Losing these plants and 900 jobs means a loss of over $250 million dollars of economic activity each year statewide. Loss of 900 jobs also means loss of timber tax revenue, Business Enterprise Tax revenue, fuel tax revenue, and a likely hit to NH's Unemployment Trust Fund that could potentially trigger an increase in costs to every employer. The consequences of plant closures will also have a significant ripple effect because the plants are an important market for the forest product industry's low-grade wood which is critical to the health of our $1.4 billion forest products industry. This bill, as amended, is a temporary three-year solution to help prevent the closings of the plants while the Office of Strategic Initiatives undertakes the study on biomass mandated in last year's budget bill. The bill involves the purchase of power by the local utility at a 20% discount from the retail rate approved by the Public Utilities Commission. This approach is consistent with federal law and a recent 2016 United States Supreme Court case (Hughes v. Talen Energy) addressing lawful actions states may take in developing energy policies. The bill also addresses the critical issues at the state's only waste-to-energy plant that serves many of our communities which is also struggling in the natural gas dominated energy world. The bill is aligned to other bills this year that seek to incentivize and help our homegrown renewable energy generators in this state that are having a difficult time operating in the current energy market. If we let these plants fail, not only do we lose all the local jobs, forestry benefits, municipal benefits, environmental benefits, and economic activity, but we will in fact increase our electricity prices. The committee heard testimony that the loss of these plants' generating capacity means NH's annual share of regional generating capacity costs will increase by $17 million in the future. Also, at a time the operator of the regional electric grid is warning about future electric generation capacity and reliability issues, loss of the electricity these plants produce would also exacerbate those issues. It truly is a case of pay now or pay later. The bill's support of biomass and waste-to-energy preserves fuel diversity in New Hampshire, saves hundreds of jobs affecting thousands of workers and their families, and provides a hedge against escalating regional capacity costs which all ratepayers will bear. There has been bipartisan support for this bill throughout the legislative process."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. Michael Vose", "committee": "Science, Technology and Energy", "text": "Abundant and low-cost natural gas has driven down the wholesale cost of electricity to a level that makes it more difficult to cost effectively generate power with other fuels. The passage of SB 129 last year sought to help the state's wood-burning electricity generators by increasing their revenues from the sale of renewable energy certificates. It failed. This bill provides another attempt to provide an infusion of cash to keep these biomass plants and associated jobs (the loggers, truckers, and equipment vendors who rely upon them) alive. But this new plan suffers from four major flaws: 1) It violates federal law by ordering state utilities to pay more than an avoided cost price for electricity sold in an interstate grid market; 2) It violates the spirit of the state's restructuring statute that stipulates, \"generation services should be subject to market competition and minimal economic regulation\" (RSA 374-F:3, III); 3) It lacks transparency by forcing one state utility to purchase all the output from the state's biomass plants at over-market prices and then sell that power on the open market and use the utility's stranded cost mechanism to recover it's losses; and 4) It lacks fairness by purporting to provide benefits to all the citizens of our state (better forest management, improved wildlife habitats, enhanced recreational spaces) but requires only the customers of one utility to pay for these benefits. Obtaining benefits like finding a productive use for low-grade wood and keeping our electricity generating fuel supply diverse may be desirable goals, but paying for these benefits needs to be lifted off the shoulders of electricity ratepayers. The minority feels that bills such as this one get in the way of finding a solution that does not hurt ratepayers, especially those business ratepayers attempting to provide a robust economy for our state.

Amend the bill by replacing all after the enacting clause with the following: 1 Findings. New Hampshire's and New England's electricity supply is heavily dependent upon natural gas-fired generation, which is subject to pricing volatility and risks of fuel availability. In its 2018 Operational Fuel-Security Analysis, the independent system operator of New England (ISO-NE) expressed concerns regarding the need for fuel diversity in the regional generation mix, given the amount of natural gas-fired generation in the mix, and noted that renewables can help lessen the fuel-security risk. The effect of natural gas pricing volatility on energy prices can be the closure of New Hampshire renewable generators and the loss of jobs and other statewide economic benefits, as well as the loss of fuel diversity derived from using indigenous renewable fuels. The general court finds that the continued operation of the state's 6 independent biomass-fired electric generating plants and the state's single renewable waste-to-energy generating plant are at-risk due to energy pricing volatility. These plants (i) are important to the state's economy and jobs, and, in particular, the 6 biomass-fired generators are vital to the state's sawmill and other forest products industries and employment in those industries, and (ii) these indigenous-fueled renewable generating plants are also important to state policies because they provide generating fuel diversity and environmental benefits, which protect the health and safety of the state's citizens and the physical environment of the state. The general court finds that it is in the public interest to promote the continued operation of, and the preservation of employment and environmental benefits associated with these sources of indigenous-fueled renewables, and thereby promote fuel diversity as part of the state's overall energy policy. 2 New Chapter; The Use of Renewable Generation to Provide Fuel Diversity. Amend RSA by inserting after chapter 362-G the following new chapter: CHAPTER 362-H THE PRESERVATION AND USE OF RENEWABLE GENERATION TO PROVIDE FUEL DIVERSITY 362-H:1 Definitions. In this chapter: I. \"Adjusted energy rate\" means 80 percent of the rate, expressed in dollars per megawatt-hour, resulting from the default energy rate minus, if applicable, the rate component for compliance with the renewable energy portfolio standards law, RSA 362-F, if that rate component is included in the approved default energy rate. II. \"Biomass'' means plant-derived fuel including clean and untreated wood such as brush stumps, lum-ber ends and trimmings, wood pallets, bark, wood chips or pellets, shavings, sawdust and slash, agricultural crops, biogas, or liquid biofuels, but shall exclude any materials derived in whole or in part from construction and demolition debris. III. \"Commission\" means the public utilities commission. IV. \"Default energy rate\" means the default service energy rate applicable to residential class customers, expressed in dollars per megawatt-hour, as approved by the commission from time to time, and which is available to retail electric customers who are otherwise without an electricity supplier. V.(a) \"Eligible facility\" means any facility which produces electricity for sale by the use, as a primary energy source, of biomass, or municipal solid waste; provided that: (1) the facility's power production capacity is not greater than 25 megawatts excluding station service needs; (2) the facility is interconnected with an electric distribution or transmission system located in New Hampshire; and (3) the facility began operation prior to January 1, 2006, or if the facility ceased operation and then later returned to service after that date then prior to January 1, 2006 the facility operated for at least 5 years regardless of the current operational status of the facility. (b) \"Eligible facility\" shall not include: (1) any facility, while selling its electrical output at long-term rates established before January 1, 2007 by orders of the commission under RSA 362-A:4; and, (2) any municipal solid waste facility less than 10 megawatts in size and which was not in operation on January 1, 2018. VI. \"Primary energy source'' means a fuel or fuels, or energy resource either singly or in combination, that comprises at least 90 percent of the total energy input into a generating unit. A fuel or energy source other than the primary fuel or energy source may be used only for start-up, maintenance, or other required internal needs of the facility. -H:2 Purchased Power Agreements. To retain and provide for generator fuel diversity, each electric distribution company that is subject to the commission's approval regarding procurement of default service shall offer to purchase the net energy output of any eligible facility located in its service territory in accordance with the following: I.(a) Prior to each of its next 6 sequential solicitations of its default service supply after the effective date of this chapter, each such electric distribution company shall solicit proposals, in one solicitation or multiple solicitations, from eligible facilities. The electric distribution company's solicitation to eligible facilities shall inform eligible facilities of the opportunity to submit a proposal to enter into a power purchase agreement with the electric distribution company under which the electric distribution company would purchase an amount of energy from the eligible facility for a period that is coterminous with the time period used in the default service supply solicitation. The solicitation shall provide that the electric distribution company's purchases of energy from the eligible facility shall be priced at the adjusted energy rate derived from the default service rates approved by the commission in each applicable default service supply solicitation and resulting rates proceeding. (b) The solicitation shall also inform the eligible facility that: (1) the electric distribution company's purchase from the eligible facility shall be at the eligible facility's interconnection point with the electric distribution company; (2) the purchase shall be from the eligible facility's net electrical output and not from the output of another unit; and (3) the electric distribution company's purchase would be for 100 percent of the eligible facility's net electrical output. II. Each eligible facility's proposal in response to such solicitation shall provide a non-binding proposed schedule of hourly net output amounts during the term stated over a mutually agreeable period, whether daily, monthly, or over the term used in the default service supply solicitation for the applicable default energy rate and such other information as needed for the eligible facility to submit and the electric distribution company to evaluate the proposal. III. With each eligible facility solicitation, the electric distribution company shall select all proposals from eligible facilities that conform to the requirements of this section. The electric distribution company shall submit all eligible facility agreements to the commission as part of its submission for periodic approval of its residential electric customer default service supply solicitation. IV. All such eligible facility agreements shall be subject to review by the commission for conformity with this chapter in the same proceeding in which it undertakes the review of the electric distribution company's periodic default service solicitation and resulting rates. V. The electric distribution company shall recover the difference between its energy purchase costs and the market energy clearing price through a non-bypassable delivery services charge applicable to all customers in the utility's service territory. The non-bypassable charge may include recovery of reasonable costs incurred by electric distribution companies pursuant to this section. The recovery of the non-bypassable charge shall be allocated among Eversource's customer classes using the allocation percentages approved by the commission in its docket DE 14-238 order 25,920 approving the 2015 Public Service Company of New Hampshire Restructuring and Rate Stabilization Agreement. In the first filing proceeding at the commission under this chapter applicable to each other electric distribution company, the commission shall determine and apply an allocation based on the foregoing allocations for any other electric distribution company subject to this chapter, but reasonably adjusted to account for differing customer classes if any from those of Eversource. 3 Effective Date.

New Hampshire's and New England's electricity supply is heavily dependent upon natural gas-fired generation, which is subject to pricing volatility and risks of fuel availability. In its 2018 Operational Fuel-Security Analysis, the independent system operator of New England (ISO-NE) expressed concerns regarding the need for fuel diversity in the regional generation mix, given the amount of natural gas-fired generation in the mix, and noted that renewables can help lessen the fuel-security risk. The effect of natural gas pricing volatility on energy prices can be the closure of New Hampshire renewable generators and the loss of jobs and other statewide economic benefits, as well as the loss of fuel diversity derived from using indigenous renewable fuels. The general court finds that the continued operation of the state\u2019s 6 independent biomass-fired electric generating plants and the state\u2019s single renewable waste-to-energy generating plant are at-risk due to energy pricing volatility. These plants (i) are important to the state\u2019s economy and jobs, and, in particular, the 6 biomass-fired generators are vital to the state\u2019s sawmill and other forest products industries and employment in those industries, and (ii) these indigenous-fueled renewable generating plants are also important to state policies because they provide generating fuel diversity and environmental benefits, which protect the health and safety of the state\u2019s citizens and the physical environment of the state. The general court finds that it is in the public interest to promote the continued operation of, and the preservation of employment and environmental benefits associated with these sources of indigenous-fueled renewables, and thereby promote fuel diversity as part of the state\u2019s overall energy policy.\n\n2 New Chapter; The Use of Renewable Generation to Provide Fuel Diversity. Amend RSA by inserting after chapter 362-G the following new chapter:\n\nCHAPTER 362-H\n\nTHE PRESERVATION AND USE OF RENEWABLE GENERATION\n\nTO PROVIDE FUEL DIVERSITY\n\n362-H:1 Definitions. In this chapter:\n\nI. \u201cAdjusted energy rate\u201d means 80 percent of the rate, expressed in dollars per megawatt-hour, resulting from the default energy rate minus, if applicable, the rate component for compliance with the renewable energy portfolio standards law, RSA 362-F, if that rate component is included in the approved default energy rate.\n\nII. \"Biomass'' means plant-derived fuel including clean and untreated wood such as brush stumps, lumber ends and trimmings, wood pallets, bark, wood chips or pellets, shavings, sawdust and slash, agricultural crops, biogas, or liquid biofuels, but shall exclude any materials derived in whole or in part from construction and demolition debris.\n\nIII. \u201cCommission\u201d means the public utilities commission.\n\nIV. \u201cDefault energy rate\u201d means the default service energy rate applicable to residential class customers, expressed in dollars per megawatt-hour, as approved by the commission from time to time, and which is available to retail electric customers who are otherwise without an electricity supplier.\n\nV.(a) \u201cEligible facility\u201d means any facility which produces electricity for sale by the use, as a primary energy source, of biomass, or municipal solid waste; provided that: (1) the facility\u2019s power production capacity is not greater than 25 megawatts excluding station service needs; (2) the facility is interconnected with an electric distribution or transmission system located in New Hampshire; and (3) the facility began operation prior to January 1, 2006, or if the facility ceased operation and then later returned to service after that date then prior to January 1, 2006 the facility operated for at least 5 years regardless of the current operational status of the facility.\n\n(b) \"Eligible facility\" shall not include: (1) any facility, while selling its electrical output at long-term rates established before January 1, 2007 by orders of the commission under RSA 362-A:4; and, (2) any municipal solid waste facility less than 10 megawatts in size and which was not in operation on January 1, 2018.\n\nVI. \u201cPrimary energy source'' means a fuel or fuels, or energy resource either singly or in combination, that comprises at least 90 percent of the total energy input into a generating unit. A fuel or energy source other than the primary fuel or energy source may be used only for start-up, maintenance, or other required internal needs of the facility.\n\n362-H:2 Purchased Power Agreements. To retain and provide for generator fuel diversity, each electric distribution company that is subject to the commission\u2019s approval regarding procurement of default service shall offer to purchase the net energy output of any eligible facility located in its service territory in accordance with the following:\n\nI.(a) Prior to each of its next 6 sequential solicitations of its default service supply after the effective date of this chapter, each such electric distribution company shall solicit proposals, in one solicitation or multiple solicitations, from eligible facilities. The electric distribution company\u2019s solicitation to eligible facilities shall inform eligible facilities of the opportunity to submit a proposal to enter into a power purchase agreement with the electric distribution company under which the electric distribution company would purchase an amount of energy from the eligible facility for a period that is coterminous with the time period used in the default service supply solicitation.

This act shall take effect upon its passage.\n\nLBAO\n\n18-2720\n\nAmended 5/15/18\n\nSB 365- FISCAL NOTE\n\nAS AMENDED BY THE HOUSE (AMENDMENT #2018-1701h)\n\nAN ACT relative to the use of renewable generation to provide fuel diversity.\n\nSTATE:\n\nFY 2019\n\nFY 2020\n\nFY 2021\n\nFY 2022\n\nAppropriation\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\nRevenue\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\nExpenditures\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nFunding Source:\n\n[ X ] General [ ] Education [ X ] Highway [ X ] Other - Various Government Funds\n\nCOUNTY:\n\nRevenue\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\nExpenditures\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nLOCAL:\n\nRevenue\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\nExpenditures\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nMETHODOLOGY:\n\nThe Public Utilities Commission (PUC) indicates this bill would establish an obligation for each regulated electric distribution utility, subject to the PUC's approval to solicit proposals, to solicit and procure default service for purchase power agreements from eligible facilities as defined in RSA 362-H:1. Each eligible facility would have to be interconnected with the electric distribution utility to submit a proposal to that electric distribution utility. The solicitations would occur prior to the normal default service solicitation of the electric distribution utility; however, the purchase of power from an eligible facility would run for a period that is coterminous with the default service period. The bill would authorize a total of six sequential solicitations by the electric distribution utility. The solicitation shall indicate that the electric distribution company will purchase 100% of the net energy output from the eligible facility at the adjusted energy rate derived from the default energy service solicitation. The proposals would be submitted to the PUC for review and approval. Each solicitation will specify that the electric distribution utility will purchase the output from each eligible facility at the adjusted energy rate as defined in RSA 362-H:1. The adjusted energy rate is 80% of the default service rate minus, if applicable, the rate component of default service that is intended to satisfy the applicable renewable energy portfolio standards law, RSA 362-F, if that rate is included in the default service rate approved by the Commission.\n\nThe Commission estimates the six eligible biomass facilities located in Eversource' s service territory could produce approximately 780,000 MWh per year. That level of output could result in approximately $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 in over wholesale market costs per year which would be recovered from Eversource customers through its stranded cost recovery charge using the rate design approved by the Commission and specified in the 2015 Public Service Company of New Hampshire Restructuring and Rate Stabilization Agreement. The Agreement specifies that the largest class of Eversource customers will pay 5.75% of stranded costs, the GV class will pay 20%, the General Service class, Rate G, will pay 25%, the Residential class, Rate R, will pay 48.75% and the Outdoor Lighting class the remaining 0.50%. Electricity costs to the State, county and local government units would likely increase based on their proportion of the increase in stranded costs for the Rate G class which includes the majority of State, Local and Municipal accounts. Rate G customers could see their bills increase by approximately $0.00273 per kWh. An average, Rate G customer would see an increase of $5.15 per month.\n\nThe bill also includes facilities that produce electricity using municipal solid waste as a primary energy source. The output from the waste-to-energy facility located in Concord could produce approximately 100,000 MWh per year which could increase stranded costs to the customers of Unitil, the interconnected utility, of $2,700,000 per year. If spread evenly over Unitil's customers, the stranded cost charge would increase by approximately 2.25 mills per kWh. A typical small commercial customer using 2,800 kWh per month would see their monthly electric bill increase by $6.30.\n\nThe PUC assumes that the average default service rate will be $0.08 per kWh ($80 per MWh) per year after the adjustment for RPS and that the adjusted energy rate will therefore be $0.064 per kWh ($64 per MWh). The difference between the wholesale market rate and the adjusted energy rate is assumed to be $24 per MWh. That difference results in $18.7 million of additional stranded costs for Eversource and $2.7 million for Unitil. For Eversource, Rate G class costs would increase $4,680,000 per year. The Eversource Rate G class makes up approximately 22% of total Eversource sales. The average annual usage of an Eversource Rate G customer is 1,900 kWh per month. The increased stranded costs for Unitil are assumed to be spread evenly on a per kWh basis across all customer classes. A typical Unitil small commercial customer uses 2,800 kWh per month.\n\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\n\nPublic Utilities Commission", "in_text": [], "chars": 14652}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 374-F:3": "/laws/374-f#s3", "RSA 362-F": "/laws/362-f", "RSA 362-A:4": "/laws/362-a#s4", "RSA 362-H:1": "/laws/362-h#s1"}, "amends": {}, "changed": ["362-H:1", "362-H:2"]}
