The bill proposes significant changes to the regulation of public utilities in Wyoming by repealing the low-carbon energy standard requirements and making necessary conforming amendments. Specifically, it amends definitions in existing law, including the terms "dispatchable" and "reliable," to clarify their meanings in the context of electric generation facilities. The bill also repeals several sections of the law related to low-carbon energy standards, including W.S. 37-1-101(a)(vi)(N), 37-18-101, and 37-18-102, which are no longer deemed necessary.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the public service commission create 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.
