Rhode Island S2427 mandates the Public Utilities Commission to create a distinct service classification for large energy use facilities.

Rhode Island S2427 requires the Public Utilities Commission to establish a separate service classification for retail electricity consumers that are large energy use facilities. These facilities are defined as those using or capable of using twenty megawatts or more and primarily engaged in services like cloud storage, application hosting, data entry, and data processing. The commission must ensure that any adopted tariff or rate schedule for these facilities either allocates costs proportionally or directly assigns costs to the facilities.
