Creating WV Energy Freedom Act

Summary

SB 1040 rewrites state rules so non‑utility power plants that use steady (non‑intermittent) energy sources can register instead of obtaining a full public‑utility certificate. It also lets projects approved by the Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council skip some hearings and notice requirements. The change aims to speed up development of new generation facilities while keeping environmental and grid‑connection standards.
