Summary

The bill amends South Dakota law to clarify that “backup electric generation” means electricity produced on a temporary basis, not connected to the grid, to replace a primary source when it is out of service. It affects utilities, generators, and any entity that might operate such backup systems. The clarification helps regulators and developers know which facilities are subject to permitting and other rules.
