Creating Public Electrical Savings Act

SB 423 proposes changes related to public power purchase agreements and the Public Service Commission’s jurisdiction.

Sponsors: Chris Phillips, Tom Willis

ISSUES: Climate, Development

CWV Position: Opposes

Position Statement: Opposition to SB 423 is grounded in concerns that it limits regulatory oversight, hampers renewable energy deployment, and places rigid constraints on how public entities can pursue energy cost savings and innovation. These effects can ultimately diminish equitable access to clean, resilient, and locally-controlled energy options.

Status: Introduced on 1/15/26; referred to Judiciary Committee on 1/15/26.
