Governor
Gordon Signs 3 Bills that Support Wyoming's Energy Sector
CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Governor Mark Gordon
Gordon signed six bills into law on Thursday, April 15, including three that
reflect the Governor’s support for Wyoming’s energy sector.
House Bill 166 will require public utilities to
take additional steps before retiring coal or natural gas plants in the state.
Utilities would be required to demonstrate to the Wyoming Public Service
Commission that the retirements would not lead to added costs to ratepayers or
less reliable electrical service.
“The experience Texas and others had earlier
this year underscores how critical it is that our electric grid remains
reliable, and that it continues to provide 24-hour dispatchable power. It is
imperative that this be done without adding additional costs to Wyoming
ratepayers,” Governor Gordon said.
“We already enjoy this because many existing
power facilities currently operating in Wyoming are efficient and can produce
power regardless of weather conditions,” the Governor added. “So if a utility
plans to close a facility, it must show that a retirement will result in cost
savings to customers, without compromising the dependability of their power
supply.”
The Governor also signed Senate File 152 and House
Bill 189. SF 152 prohibits cities, towns and counties from implementing
ordinances or policies that prohibit “the connection or reconnection of an
electric, natural gas, propane or other energy utility service provided by a
public utility.” The bill protects Wyoming utility customers from having to pay
higher rates because of ordinances that might prohibit the use of a specific
energy source.
House Bill 189 provides an opportunity for oil
producers to utilize natural gas that would normally be flared into the
atmosphere for other productive purposes, including cryptocurrency
mining.
These bills complete a slate of bills supported
and signed by the Governor designed to promote and protect Wyoming
energy-related products, including HB207, providing funding for potential
litigation concerning export of coal and use of coal as a source of energy;
SF43, the Wyoming Energy Authority amendments to encourage development of rare
earth elements; SF136, authorizing the Wyoming Public Service Commission to
fully consider reliability and economic consequences in Integrated Resource
Plan reviews; and SJ3, stating opposition of Federal decisions regarding oil and
gas production. The Governor also previously endorsed HJ 11, which states that
the federal government should respect state sovereignty and urges the current
Administration and Congress work with the state to develop federal land use
policies “in a manner which recognizes their impacts on Wyoming citizens.”
