Requires big businesses to pay for their own major electric utility upgrades, protecting other customers.
This bill would make sure that very large businesses pay the full cost of any major electric grid upgrades needed just for them. It would also require these businesses to put up money upfront for these upgrades. This aims to prevent regular families and smaller businesses from footing the bill for these specific projects.
Today, there is no national rule requiring large businesses to pay the full, extra cost of electric grid upgrades built just for them, nor do they have to provide upfront financial guarantees. These costs can sometimes be shared among all utility customers. If this bill becomes law, electric utilities would be required to make sure large businesses (those using 100 megawatts or more) pay these full upgrade costs and provide financial assurances before any work starts. This would shift the financial responsibility directly to the large-load customers.
