WV SB1041

Establishes the "Energy Economic Load Dispatch Act" requiring electric utilities to comply with "True Cost Economic Load Dispatch" standards when seeking certificates of public convenience and necessity from the Public Service Commission

Grants the Public Service Commission authority to condition, suspend, or revoke certificates for utilities that fail to comply with the new dispatch requirements

Mandates that integrated resource plans submitted by utilities must include resource adequacy planning, reliability planning, and accounting for subsidies and externalities

Creates a statutory presumption that utility costs based on dispatch or planning decisions not complying with True Cost Economic Load Dispatch are imprudent and cannot be recovered from ratepayers

Requires the Public Service Commission to deny or condition approvals when utilities rely on non-compliant regional transmission organization dispatch outcomes and to use alternative state-approved analyses when RTOs fail to provide data
