Who this affects: This bill mainly affects very large electricity users and the utilities that serve them. It could also affect regular households and small businesses if states use the rule to keep large-customer upgrade costs out of general electric rates. State utility regulators would have to review the new standard unless their state already dealt with the same or a similar issue.
Why this matters: Electric bills can rise when utilities spread grid upgrade costs across many customers. This bill tries to stop regular customers from paying for upgrades built mainly for one very large power user. It could protect households and small businesses from some costs. It could also make large projects more expensive or harder to finance. The final effect would depend on how each state and utility applies the rule.
