I applaud the General Assembly for moving forward with the Distributed Generation Growth bill (H7727-Ruggiero/S2690-Sosnowski), which adds 160 megawatts to the current renewable energy program and creates a new class for residential-scale solar projects.
Expanding renewable energy in Rhode Island will benefit our environment with cleaner air and displaced global warming pollution, and it will also benefit our economy by creating new green job opportunities and by saving Rhode Islanders money in the face of rising fossil fuel costs.
Please support H7727/S2690 and help bring the legislation to a timely vote.
Why is this important?
Expanding solar in Rhode Island will bring widespread benefits for our health, our economy, and the environment.
State lawmakers are moving forward to quintuple Rhode Island's cornerstone renewable energy program with a bill sponsored by State Rep. Ruggiero (Jamestown) and State Sen. Sosnowski (S. Kingstown). But in the busiest time of year at the State House, we need to make sure this doesn’t fall by the wayside.
Take action to send a message to your senator, your representative, and the governor.
