What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires each investor-owned electric public utility (electric utility) to prepare and submit an integrated resource plan to the Public Service Commission (PSC). The bill defines "integrated resource plan" as a 20-year plan of an electric utility for doing all of the following: 1) meeting forecasted demand for electric energy through a combination of supply-side and demand-side resources; 2) evaluating certain costs in meeting the forecasted demand; 3) identifying the mix of resources that would minimize future energy system costs and ensure safe and reliable electric service; and 4) decreasing the use of imported fossil fuel, increasing energy efficiency, and reducing electric bills. Regarding the second item, the costs that must be evaluated are those associated with the options specified in the state energy priorities law, which prioritizes options for meeting energy demands.
The bill requires an electric utility to submit an integrated resource plan to the PSC no later than July 1, 2016. If the PSC determines that an electric utility's plan satisfies the above definition, the PSC must approve the plan. However, if the PSC determines that the plan does not satisfy the definition, the PSC must order the electric utility to make revisions and resubmit the plan for the PSC's approval. Also, before approving a plan, the bill requires the PSC to provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the plan. In addition, the PSC must make approved plans available to the public through the PSC's Internet site.

The bill also requires the PSC to submit an energy study report to the legislature no later than July 1, 2017. The report must do all of the following: 1) assess current and future energy supply and demand; 2) evaluate the integrated resource plans submitted under the bill; 3) demonstrate how the PSC considered the integrated resource plans in assessing energy supply and demand; 4) evaluate the costs of meeting future energy demand that are associated with the options specified in the state's energy priorities law; 5) examine policies under state law, rules, and orders affecting energy supply and demand; 6) make a comparative analysis of those policies with policies in other states; and 7) identify challenges and opportunities for ensuring that energy supply adequately meets energy demand. In preparing the report, the bill requires the PSC to consult with the Department of Administration and the Department of Natural Resources.
