large customer energy supply
HB 4097 allows large commercial and industrial customers (with at least 10-25 megawatts of peak demand) to generate and use their own electricity through private facilities, primarily for their own operations or closely related affiliated sites like corporate campuses or tenant spaces. It prohibits selling electricity as a separate commodity to the public, requiring that tenant electricity be included in rent or services (not billed per kilowatt-hour). The bill mandates registration with Arizona's Corporation Commission, including details on facility design and interconnection plans, and requires compliance with utility interconnection standards. It explicitly does not create a general retail electricity choice program or alter utility service territories.
