SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Study; Appalachian Power; report.  Directs the Commission on Electric Utility Regulation to study alternatives to the monopoly service provided by Appalachian Power, which is the existing investor-owned electric utility serving portions of Southwest and Southside Virginia. The Commission is specifically directed to determine if customers within Appalachian Power's certificated service territory should be provided the option to purchase electric generation and other services from other providers of such services, including electric distribution cooperatives, investor-owned electric utilities, or licensed competitive service providers, and to determine if it would be in the best interests of the Commonwealth if Appalachian Power were to be replaced by another entity, which may be a new or existing investor-owned electric utility or electric cooperative, as the certificated provider of electric utility services within Appalachian Power's service territory.
