Summary

The bill forces big electrical corporations to start permitting for new transmission or interconnection projects within a year of a transmission plan adoption or an interconnection agreement, but they can ask for an extension if they show good cause. Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, each of these utilities must hire an independent auditor to review their filings, upgrade progress, and compliance, and the commission must act on the audit within 90 days. If a utility misses the deadlines or fails to request an extension, the commission can enforce penalties.
