HB 710 (2025)

Allow utilities to purchase mini nuclear power

Summary:

Adds "advanced nuclear resources" to state laws that require utilities to offer ratepayers the option to pay extra to support renewable energy.

The House rewrote the bill to instead allow utilities to sign purchase power agreements (PPAs) with "advanced nuclear resources" (micro, mini, or small nuclear reactors) for the acquisition of up to 20% of a utility’s need for electrical energy.
