ID H0756

Defines "new large load" as electric power requirements reaching 20 megawatts or more within 5 years of initial service or increasing by 20 megawatts or more at an existing service entrance

Requires Idaho Public Utilities Commission approval of electric service agreements for new large loads, including a mandatory "no-harm test" to ensure existing ratepayers do not experience rate increases

Mandates new large load customers furnish financial security (cash deposits, letters of credit, or third-party guarantees) to protect against stranded investment costs if contracted power requirements are not met

Requires the commission to conduct follow-up no-harm tests at least every 3 years during utility rate cases to compare forecasted versus actual costs of serving new large loads

Declares an emergency with effective date of July 1, 2026; exempts existing service entrances exceeding 50 megawatts as of January 1, 2000 from new large load requirements
