House Bill No. by Representative Jacob Landry establishes a new chapter in Louisiana's Revised Statutes focused on affordable, reliable, and clean energy security. The bill mandates the Department of Energy and Natural Resources to collaborate with the Public Service Commission to prioritize energy sources that are primarily produced domestically, thereby reducing reliance on foreign nations for critical materials and energy infrastructure. It defines "affordable energy sources" as those that are stable, cost-effective, and readily available, including energy generated by hydrocarbons. Additionally, it outlines criteria for "reliable energy sources," emphasizing the need for consistent availability and grid stability.

The bill also redefines "green energy" to encompass energy resources that meet emissions standards equivalent to pipeline quality natural gas, while also including energy generated by nuclear reactors and natural gas. This new definition will apply to all state programs that fund green or clean energy initiatives. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance energy security and affordability in Louisiana while promoting the use of both traditional and renewable energy sources.
