What this bill does
The bill creates a Utah Energy Council that would manage decommissioned electrical generation facilities and choose their operators through a competitive selection process with minimum qualifications. It also bars project entities from altering power supplies for plant station service, changing existing grid interconnections or critical switchyard equipment, or taking actions that would force a new plant owner to request a new interconnection, and it repeals the older Decommissioned Asset Disposition Authority provisions.
