Public utilities and cooperative electric associations reporting of revenue authorized and collected requirement provision

This bill requires Minnesota's regulated public utilities and cooperative electric associations to annually report specific revenue data to the state energy commission. Starting April 30, 2027, and each year after, they must submit the total revenue they were authorized to collect versus what they actually collected during the previous calendar year, broken down separately for base rates and each additional fee (bill rider). The commission may also request additional information through rules or orders. This creates a new transparency requirement for utility financial reporting, directly affecting electricity providers under state rate regulation.
