MO HB439

Creates the "Missouri Energy Freedom Act" allowing large electricity customers with at least 1 megawatt annual peak demand to enter direct contracts with renewable energy facility owners for electricity delivery through existing utility infrastructure

Requires retail electric suppliers to approve use of their transmission/distribution systems within 90 days of a contract customer's request and file service tariffs with the Public Service Commission

Allows utilities to recover cost-based charges for administrative, distribution, transmission, generation capacity, and supplemental energy services from contract customers

Mandates impact evaluation when renewable energy contracts exceed 3% of a utility's peak load, with tariff adjustments required to prevent cost-shifting to non-participating customers

Exempts renewable energy facility owners from public utility classification and requires the Public Service Commission to promulgate implementing rules within one year of the effective date
