2023 Legislative Roundup

On Wednesday, August 9, NECEC’s policy team held its 2023 Legislative Roundup, summarizing the progress, concerns, and work that lies ahead in legislatures across the region. Together with our state affiliates—Clean Energy New Hampshire, Renewable Energy Vermont, Focus Government Affairs, and Wilby Public Affairs—the policy team described the progress achieved in the renewable energy sector this year.

Each summer when the dust settles after busy lawmaking sessions, NECEC hosts our Annual Legislative Roundup, during which NECEC’s Policy team and our state partners offer insights and reflections on the progress made over the past 12 months.

Tim Snyder, NECEC’s Vice President of Public Policy and Government Affairs, helped frame the developments of the past year, before remarks and discussion on each of the states.

“In 2023, we saw several good pieces of legislation make it across the finish line,” Snyder continued. “We also saw some very concerning bills come dangerously close to becoming law—and saw other good bills fail at the last minute. Looking ahead, we have plenty to do as we work to solidify our priorities moving into the next legislative session and the rest of the current session in Massachusetts.”
