HB 976 Electric utilities; SCC to ensure energy policy at lowest reasonable cost.

Introduced by: Phil M. Hernandez | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Electric utilities; State Corporation Commission; energy policy of the Commonwealth. Requires the State Corporation Commission to ensure that the Commonwealth implements the energy policy of the Commonwealth, as defined by relevant law, at the lowest reasonable cost, taking into account all cost-effective demand-side management options and the security and reliability benefits of the regional transmission entity that each incumbent electric utility has joined. The bill establishes a rebuttable presumption that plans, petitions, or proposals from utilities that do not ensure such implementation at the lowest reasonable cost are not in the public interest.
