enabling electric utilities to own, operate, and offer advanced nuclear resources, and relative to purchased power agreements for electric distribution utilities and limitations on community customer generators.

HB 710 allows electric utilities to own, operate, and offer new advanced nuclear power plants, expanding their energy generation options. It modifies rules for utilities purchasing power from other providers and adds restrictions on community solar and small-scale generator programs. The bill directly affects utilities, power providers, and customers participating in community energy projects. Key provisions include enabling nuclear ownership, adjusting power purchase agreements, and limiting community generator capacity. This is a substantive policy change focused on energy infrastructure and market rules.
