AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC UTILITIES AND CARRIERS -- THERMAL ENERGY NETWORK AND JOBS ACT

Summary

It requires the main public utility to pick 2‑12 possible sites and start at least two feasibility studies within 18 months, making sure at least one site is in an environmental‑justice area. The utility can recover reasonable study costs from customers after trying to get non‑customer funding, and the Public Utilities Commission may approve cost recovery for any pilot project that meets defined benefits. The goal is to see if thermal energy networks can cut emissions and lower long‑term energy costs.
