Requiring retail electric suppliers to provide fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory rates and services to entities that provide electric vehicle charging services.
What changed between versions
The term 'retail electric supplier' was modified to 'retail electric supplier utility' to explicitly include investor-owned electric utilities under the bill's requirements.
A new definition for 'Utility' was added to specify that it refers to an investor-owned electric utility engaged in furnishing retail electric service.
An exception was added allowing utilities to recover costs for facilities necessary to provide retail electric service to a customer's fast charging station, subject to prudence disallowance by the state corporation commission.
A new exemption was created for fast charging stations that are required to be owned or operated by a utility pursuant to federal or state law or an order of the state corporation commission.
A specific expiration date of July 1, 2036, was added to the act.
