Bill > HB0139

This bill exempts certain retail sales of electricity from regulation by the Public Service Commission, which is the state agency that oversees public utilities. Specifically, it carves out exceptions for electricity sold by entities that are not otherwise considered public utilities, cooperative electric utilities, or municipally owned utilities. These exemptions apply to sales to a single customer within a regulated utility's service area, or to up to four customers with a combined load of at least five megawatts, or to up to four customers if the regulated utility fails to respond to a service request within six months, cannot provide service within a year, or if the parties cannot agree on service terms. The bill also makes conforming amendments to tax laws to reflect these exemptions and clarifies that these changes apply to agreements made on or after July 1, 2026, without affecting pre-existing contracts.
