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 Specifically, it amends the definitions in W.S. 37-1-101 and W.S. 37-2-134 to remove references to the now-repealed standards, including the definitions of "dispatchable" and "reliable" electricity. The bill also repeals W.S. 37-1-101(a)(vi)(N), W.S. 37-18-101, and W.S. 37-18-102, which previously outlined the low-carbon energy standards and their applicability to public utilities.

Additionally, the bill mandates the Wyoming Public Service Commission to create rules necessary for implementing these changes. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of the legislative process as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution. Overall, this legislation aims to streamline the regulatory framework for electric generation facilities by eliminating the low-carbon energy standards and ensuring that public utilities can operate without the constraints of these previous requirements.
