Introduced Text

Idaho S1368 adds provisions for public utilities to serve new large loads, ensuring ratepayer protection and service quality.

Idaho S1368 amends existing law to establish provisions for public utilities serving new large loads. A new large load is defined as any electrical load that increases power requirements by 30 megawatts or more. Public utilities must enter into a service contract with these new large loads, which the commission reviews and approves or denies within 180 days. The commission sets guidelines to ensure new large loads do not increase rates for other customers. The act declares an emergency and takes effect on July 1, 2026.
