Establishes a federal standard for electric utilities to recover full incremental costs from large-load customers.
The Ratepayer Protection Act amends the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to establish a federal standard for electric utilities. It mandates that rates charged to large-load customers must recover the full incremental costs of any upgrades necessary to serve them. These customers must request or enter into a contract for electric energy for facilities that require electric energy primarily for information technology infrastructure and have a peak demand of 100 megawatts or more.
