The Municipal Electric Utility Carbon Emission Reduction Act requires that a certain portion of electricity supplied by municipal utilities be renewably sourced, with an allowed reduction for fossil-fuel generation that captures and sequesters CO2.
Requires that a certain portion of electricity supplied by utilities be low or no-emission electricity to the extent it is cost effective, including via carbon capture and storage.
Requires fossil-fueled thermal electric generating facilities of 25-350 MW capacity to implement CO2 mitigation program, including through geologic or non-geologic sequestration.
Implements carbon dioxide mitigation program for thermal electric generating facilities of greater than 350 MW capacity, and allows mitigation through geological carbon sequestration.
