The bill, introduced by Representative Jacob Landry, enacts Chapter 17 of Subtitle I of Title 30 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, focusing on clean energy solutions. It establishes definitions for key terms such as "affordable," "dispatchable," "foreign adversary nation," and "reliable," which are essential for understanding the criteria for energy security in Louisiana. The bill mandates that the Department of Energy and Natural Resources collaborate with the Public Service Commission and the Department of Economic Development to prioritize affordable, reliable, and clean energy security. This includes ensuring the use of domestically produced fuel sources, minimizing reliance on foreign nations for critical materials, and maintaining a sufficient supply of renewable energy production sources.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific criteria for reliable energy sources, emphasizing the need for dispatchable energy that can meet customer demands consistently. It also defines "green energy" and includes energy generated from nuclear reactors and natural gas, provided it meets environmental standards. The legislation aims to create a stable energy grid that can adapt to fluctuations in electricity demand while promoting the use of hydrocarbons as a resource. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance Louisiana's energy security by ensuring that energy sources are affordable, reliable, and environmentally compliant.
