Cost shift

Draft summary, still being checked against the official bill text. Read the source to confirm.

If passed, the bill would make large electricity users pay a fee that funds a pool used to give residential customers bill credits to offset higher rates.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

If the bill passes, big factories will pay a new fee, and the money will be used to give homeowners credit on their electric bills. That could keep your monthly bill from rising, but it also adds a new charge for large users that could affect jobs or prices.

The facts

What the bill actually says, no spin.

Large‑scale electricity consumer means any facility using over 25 megawatts.
Each large consumer must pay an annual impact fee set by the State Corporation Commission.
Localities approving new large consumers after 2028 must pay a fee equal to 5% of the tax revenue linked to the project.
All fees go into a special fund that can be used to offset utility infrastructure costs and give bill credits to residential customers.
