The bill enacts a new section, 4906.011, into the Revised Code of Ohio, establishing the state's energy siting policy. It defines key terms such as "affordable energy source," which must have stable costs and provide cost-effective heating, cooling, and electricity generation, while explicitly excluding advanced nuclear energy technology. The bill also outlines criteria for "reliable energy sources," emphasizing their availability during high-demand periods and their ability to support renewable energy. Additionally, it defines "clean energy sources" and emphasizes the importance of domestic production and infrastructure security.

The public policy declared by the state aims to ensure affordable, reliable, and clean energy security. The bill mandates that all applications for utility facility certificates prioritize the use of affordable, reliable, and clean energy sources, with a focus on domestic production, except for energy generated by nuclear reactions. It also seeks to minimize reliance on foreign adversary nations for critical materials and manufacturing, thereby enhancing the state's energy independence and security.
