The bill, introduced by Representative Jacob Landry, establishes a new chapter in Louisiana's Revised Statutes focused on energy policy, specifically addressing affordable, reliable, and clean energy solutions. It defines key terms such as "affordable," "dispatchable," "foreign adversary country," and "reliable," which are essential for understanding the criteria for energy sources. The Department of Energy and Natural Resources is tasked with collaborating with the Public Service Commission to prioritize domestically produced fuel sources, particularly for nuclear reactors, and to minimize reliance on foreign nations for critical materials and manufacturing.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for energy sources to be considered reliable, emphasizing that they must be dispatchable and include energy generated from hydrocarbons. It also specifies that "green energy" encompasses energy from federally recognized sources and hydrocarbons that meet air quality standards. The legislation aims to ensure that all state programs funding clean or green energy initiatives adhere to these definitions and criteria, thereby promoting energy security and affordability in Louisiana.
