SF 95 Wyoming House · 2022 Regular Session

Public utilities-service in other territory.

Wyoming's SF 95 prohibits public utilities from expanding service into another utility's certified territory, directly affecting electric, gas, and water companies operating in the state. The bill amends utility law to prevent new certificates of convenience and necessity for service in areas already served by another utility, including indirect service (like delivering power outside a utility's certified area but for consumption within it). If a utility violates this rule, the Public Service Commission can order it to stop providing service and pay just compensation to the affected utility. The law took effect July 1, 2022, clarifying territorial boundaries for utility operations.
