The bill proposes significant changes to the regulations surrounding public utilities in Wyoming, specifically by repealing the low-carbon energy standard requirements and related provisions. It amends existing definitions in the law, including the terms "dispatchable" and "reliable," to clarify that dispatchable sources of electricity are those available on demand and can be adjusted according to market needs, while reliable electricity is defined as that which is not subject to intermittent availability. Additionally, the bill repeals certain sections of the law that are no longer applicable, including W.S. 37-1-101(a)(vi)(N), 37-18-101, and 37-18-102.
Furthermore, the bill mandates the public service commission to create all necessary rules to implement these changes effectively. The act is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all legislative processes required for a bill to become law, as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution.
