Bill > HB0184

This bill amends Wyoming state law to require a customer allocation agreement when an electricity provider wants to sell electricity to a customer located within another utility's designated service territory. Specifically, the bill mandates that before selling electricity to a customer in another utility's certificated (officially approved) service area, the selling utility must have a formal agreement with the customer and the original utility. If a utility sells electricity without such an agreement, the original utility can file a civil lawsuit to recover damages for lost income and can also recoup attorney fees and expenses related to the legal action. The key purpose appears to be protecting established utility companies from unauthorized service intrusions into their designated service territories. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, giving utilities time to prepare for and implement the new requirements. This legislation aims to regulate and maintain the established boundaries and economic interests of public utility service territories in Wyoming.
