Relating to preliminary planning for future electric substations near industrial parks on certain high voltage transmission lines

Summary

The bill adds a new law that obliges electric utilities seeking approval for high‑voltage (400 kV or higher) transmission lines to include a report on locating substations close to business‑ready industrial parks. The Public Service Commission will review the report and can approve site‑preparation work that promises the greatest economic benefit, with the costs recovered through a special rate increment that does not affect residential customers.
