Plain-English Summary

This bill would require electric utilities to charge large industrial and commercial customers for the full cost of any infrastructure upgrades needed to serve them, rather than spreading those costs across all customers. The change would affect how utility companies recover expenses for things like new power lines or equipment installed specifically to handle a big factory or data center's electricity demands. Large businesses would pay more directly for the grid improvements they require, while other utility customers might see lower costs since they wouldn't subsidize those upgrades.
