The bill establishes a "choice electric program" for electric utilities in Wyoming, requiring the public service commission to create rules that mandate each electric utility to offer customers the option to purchase electricity based on different resource types. The program will include specific requirements such as providing pricing information for each resource type, allowing customers to specify their preferred percentages of resource types, and ensuring transparency regarding costs without the influence of grants or subsidies. Additionally, the commission will not grant confidentiality for any information that electric utilities must provide to customers under this program.
The bill also stipulates that the public service commission must implement all necessary rules by January 1, 2027, while the act itself will take effect immediately, except for the provisions related to the choice electric program, which will become effective on the same date. This initiative aims to enhance customer choice and transparency in the electricity market, ensuring that consumers have access to detailed information about their electricity options and associated costs.
