Mississippi Severe Winter Storm of 2026 Electric Utility Customer Relief and Electric Utility System Restoration Act; create.

This bill creates a process for Mississippi electric utilities to recover repair costs from the 2026 severe winter storm through state-issued bonds. Utilities must request a financing order from the Public Service Commission, which, if approved, allows the state to issue bonds funded by a new "system restoration charge" collected from retail customers. The charge is adjusted annually to cover bond debt payments, with funds deposited into a sinking fund to repay bondholders. This mechanism shifts repair costs from immediate customer bills to long-term repayment via bonds, directly affecting electric utility customers through the new charge.
