Iowa SF2273 regulates public utilities by setting rules for rate filings, rate adjustment mechanisms, virtual power plants, and integrated resource planning. The bill mandates that public utilities file general rate cases to confirm that rates, cost allocations, and tariff provisions are just and reasonable. It prohibits automatic rate adjustments for rate-regulated utilities and requires them to file integrated resource plans every three years, starting July 1, 2027. These plans must include five-year and twenty-year planning horizons and a comparative analysis of resource mixes.
