New Hampshire lawmakers want to help green the state’s electric grid with a bipartisan plan that would require utilities to invest in offshore wind projects.

The state Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill this month that would require the state to solicit proposals from publicly regulated utilities to procure at least 600 megawatts of new offshore wind energy, and up to 800 megawatts of renewable energy by 2028. The vote was 23-1.
