Bill Summary
This bill directs the Iowa utilities commission (commission) to conduct a study that examines whether, during any certain time of day, electric power generating facilities are on average producing more energy than the amount necessary to provide electric service to customers. If the commission finds a certain time of day when electric power generating facilities are on average producing more energy than the amount necessary to provide electric service to customers, the bill directs the commission to examine the feasibility of providing the excess energy for free to residents of Iowa at that certain time of the day for the purpose of energy storage for individual consumption. The bill requires the commission to submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to the general assembly on or before December 31, 2026.
AI Summary
This bill directs the Iowa Utilities Board, an agency responsible for regulating utility companies, to conduct a study to determine if electric power plants in Iowa are, on average, producing more electricity than is needed to serve customers at certain times of the day. If the Board finds that excess energy is being produced, it must then investigate whether it would be practical to offer this surplus electricity for free to Iowa residents during those times, specifically for the purpose of individual energy storage. The Board is required to present a report of its findings and any suggestions to the state legislature by December 31, 2026.
