Legislation to Watch
The Missouri legislature has been introduced and referred to the House General Laws Committee.
HB417 if adopted would would open Missouri’s electricity market to competitive retail choice by August 2027 for C&I customers and January 2029 for residential customers.
Specifically the proposed legislation: (1) specifies that electric utilities, as defined in the bill, must provide open and nondiscriminatory access over their transmission and distribution systems to all retail electric suppliers to sell electricity directly to customers; (2) requires electric utilities to unbundle the rates charged for generation, transmission, and distribution services; and (3) authorizes the MOPSC to establish a separate process for supply to energy assistance customers which must include the grouping of low income customers into an aggregation program.
