Legislative Campaign

This bill can stop biomass subsidies & prevent deadly pollution!

Please thank your legislators for all they have done to date to remove incentives for biomass energy. A conference committee will be formed with three members from the House and three members from the Senate to develop a compromise bill. Please ask your legislators to make sure that the compromise clean energy bill closes the MLP biomass loophole and removes biomass from the APS (alternative energy portfolio standard).

Thank you - and please check back for updates!

In the 2025-2026 legislative session, these were the co-sponsors of the original legislation
to close the MLP biomass loophole:

An Act to remove woody biomass from the greenhouse gas emissions standard for municipal lighting plants

This bill closes a loophole allowing local, publicly-owned utilities to count biomass toward climate and clean energy goals. The legislation amends the 2021 Climate Roadmap law to remove biomass from the list of “non-carbon emitting sources” that municipal lighting plants can use to meet the new MLP greenhouse gas emission standard.
