The purpose of this bill is to provide the Public Service Commission the authority to require electric utilities to develop and implement plans for the efficient use, conservation and reduction of energy usage. The bill sets forth goals to achieve energy savings equivalent to five percent of 2010 sales by 2018, and directs the Public Service Commission to establish targets through 2025 by December 31, 2017. The bill also requires electric utilities to submit plans for reaching those goals, provides for revenue sharing and the opportunity for financial incentives for gas and electric utilities to establish energy saving programs. Additionally, the bill authorizes a special license fee up to $600,000 to be collected from the affected utilities to implement the bills requirements. The bill also provides for a self-direct option for large, energy customers. This article is new; therefore, it has been completely underscored.
