Bill > HB0209

This bill repeals Wyoming's existing low-carbon energy standard requirements by amending and removing several statutory definitions and sections related to electric generation facilities. Specifically, the bill modifies definitions of "dispatchable" and "reliable" electricity sources, removing references to a previous low-carbon energy standard law. The bill repeals entire sections of Wyoming Statutes (37-18-101 and 37-18-102) that were likely related to carbon capture and low-carbon energy mandates. The changes appear to broaden the definition of dispatchable energy to mean electricity that can be used on demand and adjusted according to market needs, and redefine "reliable" as electricity not subject to intermittent availability. The public service commission is required to create new rules to implement these changes, and the bill will become effective immediately upon completing the standard legislative process. This legislation seems aimed at providing more flexibility for electric generation facilities and potentially rolling back previous requirements for carbon capture and low-carbon energy production.
