Idaho H0911 adds provisions for new large loads in public utilities, requiring financial security and commission approval.

Idaho H0911 amends existing law to establish provisions for new large loads in public utilities. It requires new large loads to provide financial security to protect against stranded costs and unrecoverable investments. The Public Utilities Commission must review and approve service contracts within 270 days, ensuring the new load does not increase rates for existing customers. The commission has jurisdiction over disputes and can adjust rates if necessary. The law declares an emergency and takes effect on July 1, 2026.
