The bill proposes significant changes to the regulation of public utilities in Wyoming by repealing the low-carbon energy standard requirements and related provisions. Specifically, it amends the definitions in W.S. 37-1-101 and W.S. 37-2-134, removing references to the now-repealed sections concerning low-carbon energy standards. The definitions of "dispatchable" and "reliable" electricity are updated to clarify their meanings without the context of the previous low-carbon standards. Additionally, the bill repeals W.S. 37-1-101(a)(vi)(N), W.S. 37-18-101, and W.S. 37-18-102, which were previously related to the low-carbon energy standards.

Furthermore, the bill mandates the public service commission to create rules necessary for implementing these changes, ensuring that public utilities can adapt to the new regulatory framework. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of the legislative process as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution. This legislative shift reflects a move away from stringent low-carbon requirements, potentially impacting the future of energy generation and regulation in the state.
