Plain-language change summary

The amendment to S 2702 removes the added focus on dramatic reductions in environmental emissions and the goal of supporting various generation devices and smart load devices. Instead, the revised text emphasizes maximizing energy production and efficiency as primary objectives of the Integrated Energy Systems Program. This change may affect how the program prioritizes its initiatives and sets its goals.
