West Virginia HB4745 prohibits rate increases for electric rate payers to fund transmission lines for exporting power to another state.

West Virginia HB4745 aims to prevent electric rate increases for funding transmission lines built to export electricity to other states. The bill ensures that any power exported to neighboring states will be absorbed by those states' rate payers or the industries using the electricity. This measure seeks to protect West Virginia rate payers from bearing the costs of expanding transmission systems for the benefit of other states. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining reliable electric service at reasonable rates and conditions for all customers within West Virginia.
