State Rep. Bart Korman, R-High Hill, filed legislation Feb. 2 regarding renewable energy, which has since been referred to the committee process. House Bill (HB) 783 would allow for all hydroelectric generation facilities to be classified as renewable energy resources and modify solar incentives.“I want to help the renewable energy standard be affordable for consumers,” Korman said.The proposed changes in the bill make the process of qualifying for the renewable standard easier for hydroelectric generation facilities, allowing for other technologies to fit in the cost cap of the standard.This will give utility companies some flexibility with solar incentives and meeting the solar requirements of the renewable standard. HB 783 has been referred to the Energy and the Environment committee, and will likely be heard in the next few weeks.Korman represents the 42nd District, which covers Montgomery County, western Warren County and southwestern St. Charles County.State Rep.
