The sponsor's argument
Why Kevin S. Parker says this is needed
The study is to obtain viable data for the ability of municipalities to power residential and commercial structures via hydrogen power. With the recent approval and financial investment of building out hydrogen energy facilities. It is crucial to make sure that municipalities can maximize the effectiveness of hydrogen energy in supplementing phase in their electrical grids. *Energy Value (LBMP) *Capacity Value (ICAP) *Utility Value (E) *Demand Reduction Value (DRV) *Energy Storage With the constant rise in Utility cost, having comprehensive data to assist in the cost of building, storing generated power and the trans- ferring of hydrogen power to residential neighborhoods allow for the current set level of invest in hydrogen energy to be moved further. While also monitoring the effectiveness of each Hydrogen plant based on the regions/municipality energy consumption and the ability to meet peak demands. The hydrogen study will also allow for the renewable energy source to be a more efficient option while also giving each area the opportunity to find the most functional and financially feasible form of implementation to strategize the most efficient standards. The mapping/study/research that would ideally lead to wider scale standards for efficient installa- tion state wide.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
