HB 2233 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions for electrical choice and competition

HB 2233 establishes a framework for competitive electricity markets in Missouri, allowing residential and commercial customers to choose their electricity supplier starting 24 months after August 28, 2026. It directly affects residential customers, small/medium/large commercial businesses (defined by peak load), and investor-owned electric utilities, requiring utilities to provide open access to their transmission and distribution systems. Key provisions include creating "default supply service" for customers who don’t choose a new provider, mandating rate unbundling (separating supply and delivery costs), and implementing a "competitive transition charge" to recover legacy costs over time. The bill does not apply to municipal utilities or rural cooperatives unless they voluntarily opt into the competitive market.
