ID H0395

"New large load" is defined as any electric load increase of 30 megawatts or more at a service entrance within any consecutive 12-month period

Public utilities cannot serve new large loads from existing resources or resources planned to serve general ratepayers within 10 years; all costs (capital, generation, transmission, distribution, customer-related) must be recovered solely from the new large load customer

Electric consumers with new large loads may obtain service entirely or partially from providers other than their assigned public utility, and utilities must make transmission and distribution facilities available at cost to facilitate competitive procurement

Splitting loads among multiple suppliers, adding meters, or creating new service entrances to circumvent the 30 MW threshold is prohibited

Effective date is July 1, 2025, with the Public Utilities Commission authorized to promulgate rules (subject to legislative approval) and resolve disputes
