HB 143 (2015)
Summary:
Classifies all hydroelectric power as renewable energy for the purpose of New Hampshire's Renewable Portfolio Standard. Current law does not classify large hydroelectric power plants as a renewable energy source, although hydropower is renewable from a scientific perspective. The current legal classification is partly because hydropower does not need the subsidy to succeed, and partly because large hydropower plants can disrupt the environment.
