SF2249 establishes a customer class for large energy use facilities, requiring separate rates and schedules.

SF2249 mandates the creation of a distinct customer class for large energy use facilities, defined as those using or capable of using 20 megawatts or more. The bill requires the utilities commission to establish separate rates, charges, and schedules for these facilities. When approving rates for large energy use facilities, the commission must ensure they directly assign costs, mitigate unwarranted risks to other customers, and contribute equitably to grid efficiency, reliability, and resiliency. The bill applies to facilities constructed or expanded after January 1, 2027.
