Adopt the Large Load Customer Regulation Act

LB 1064, the "Large Load Customer Regulation Act," establishes rules for public power suppliers (like municipal utilities) to interconnect large electricity users exceeding 20 megawatts at a single site. It requires these customers to disclose if they’re pursuing similar service elsewhere (with confidentiality) and provide details about onsite backup power. Public power suppliers must charge a $100,000 flat fee for initial interconnection studies and can negotiate custom rates to cover infrastructure costs and mitigate risks to other customers. The bill also mandates procedures for demand response and emergency load curtailment during grid emergencies. This directly affects large commercial/industrial facilities and public power providers across Nebraska.
