Summary

The bill forces electric and gas utilities to sign long‑term contracts with customers that have large energy‑use facilities and to recover any extra costs only from those customers. It sets minimum contract lengths, payment minimums, early‑exit fees, and requires commission approval of contracts and any changes. The aim is to keep other ratepayers from subsidizing these large users.
