This bill amends the definition of "public utility" in Wyoming law to exclude certain electricity producers from regulation as public utilities. Specifically, it introduces a new subdivision that exempts electricity producers who exclusively serve either one customer with an electric demand of at least 25 megawatts or up to four customers with a combined electric demand of at least 100 megawatts. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the electricity generation must be for new or expanded demand occurring on or after July 1, 2027.

The bill also mandates the public service commission to create necessary rules for its implementation. It establishes that the act will take effect immediately upon the completion of legislative processes, with the specific provisions regarding the exemption for electricity producers becoming effective on July 1, 2027. This legislative change aims to facilitate the growth of electricity generation in Wyoming while providing clarity on regulatory requirements for certain producers.
