Relating to advance purchase agreements for electric substation transformers

Summary

The bill lets the Department of Economic Development enter advance purchase agreements with regulated electric utilities to reserve high‑voltage transformers needed for large industrial or commercial projects. The state pays the ordering costs and can assign the transformers to qualifying projects, with repayment or possible forgiveness based on economic benefits. This aims to shorten lead times caused by national transformer shortages.
