12     LONG TITLE
13     General Description:
14          This bill modifies public utilities provisions relating to electric vehicle battery charging
15     infrastructure and service.
16     Highlighted Provisions:
17          This bill:
18          ▸     modifies the definitions of "electrical corporation" and "public utility" for purposes
19     of public utility code provisions and expands the description of entities excluded
20     from those definitions because they are entities that sell electric vehicle battery
21     charging service;
22          ▸     enacts definitions relating to electric vehicle battery charging station infrastructure
23     and services;
24          ▸     requires the Public Service Commission to authorize a large-scale electric utility's
25     vehicle charging infrastructure program that allows for a $50,000,000 investment,
26     and provides for amendments to that program; and
27          ▸     provides for a large-scale electric utility to recover the utility's investment in vehicle
28     charging infrastructure.

358          (ii) is a transitional rate structure expected to allow the large-scale electric utility to
359     recover, through charges to utility vehicle charging service customers, the large-scale electric
360     utility's full cost of service for utility-owned vehicle charging infrastructure and utility vehicle
361     charging service over a reasonable time frame determined by the commission; and
362          (iii) may allow different rates for large-scale electric utility customers to reflect
363     contributions to investment; and
364          (c) includes a transportation plan that promotes:

365          (i) the deployment of utility-owned vehicle charging infrastructure in the public
366     interest; and
367          (ii) the availability of utility vehicle charging service.
368          (3) Before submitting a proposed charging infrastructure program to the commission
369     for commission approval under Subsection (2), a large-scale electric utility shall seek and
370     consider input from:
371          (a) the Division of Public Utilities, established in Section 54-4a-1;
372          (b) the Office of Consumer Services, created in Section 54-10a-201;
373          (c) the Division of Air Quality, created in Section 19-1-105;
374          (d) the Department of Transportation, created in Section 72-1-201;
375          (e) the Governor's Office of Economic Development, created in Section 63N-1-201;
376          (f) the Office of Energy Development, created in Section 63M-4-401;
377          (g) the board of the Utah Inland Port Authority, created in Section 11-58-201;
378          (h) representatives of the Point of the Mountain State Land Development Authority,
379     created in Section 11-59-201;
380          (i) third-party electric vehicle battery charging service operators; and
381          (j) any other person who files a request for notice with the commission.
382          (4) The commission shall find a charging infrastructure program to be in the public
383     interest if the commission finds that the charging infrastructure program:
384          (a) increases the availability of electric vehicle battery charging service in the state;
385          (b) enables the significant deployment of infrastructure that supports electric vehicle
386     battery charging service and utility-owned vehicle charging infrastructure in a manner
387     reasonably expected to increase electric vehicle adoption;
388          (c) includes an evaluation of investments in the areas of the authority jurisdictional
389     land, as defined in Section 11-58-102, and the point of the mountain state land, as defined in
390     Section 11-59-102;
391          (d) enables competition, innovation, and customer choice in electric vehicle battery
392     charging services, while promoting low-cost services for electric vehicle battery charging

393     customers; and
394          (e) provides for ongoing coordination with the Department of Transportation, created
395     in Section 72-1-201.
396          (5) The commission may, consistent with Subsection (2), approve an amendment to the
397     charging infrastructure program if the large-scale electric utility demonstrates that the
398     amendment:
399          (a) is prudent;
400          (b) will provide net benefits to customers; and
401          (c) is otherwise consistent with the requirements of Subsection (2).
402          (6) The commission shall authorize recovery of a large-scale electric utility's
403     investment in utility-owned vehicle charging infrastructure through a balancing account or
404     other ratemaking treatment that reflects:
405          (a) charging infrastructure program costs associated with prudent investment, including
406     the large-scale electric utility's pre-tax average weighted cost of capital approved by the
407     commission in the large-scale electric utility's most recent general rate proceeding, and
408     associated revenue and prudently incurred expenses; and
409          (b) a carrying charge.
410          (7) A large-scale electric utility's investment in utility-owned vehicle charging
411     infrastructure is prudently made if the large-scale electric utility demonstrates in a formal
412     adjudicative proceeding before the commission that the investment can reasonably be
413     anticipated to:
414          (a) result in one or more projects that are in the public interest of the large-scale
415     electric utility's customers to reduce transportation sector emissions over a reasonable time
416     period as determined by the commission;
417          (b) provide the large-scale electric utility's customers significant benefits that may
418     include revenue from utility vehicle charging service that offsets the large-scale electric utility's
419     costs and expenses; and
420          (c) facilitate any other measure that the commission determines:

421          (i) promotes deployment of utility-owned vehicle charging infrastructure and utility
422     vehicle charging service; or
423          (ii) creates significant benefits in the long term for customers of the large-scale electric
424     utility.
425          (8) A large-scale electric utility that establishes and implements a charging
426     infrastructure program shall annually, on or before June 1, submit a written report to the Public
427     Utilities, Energy, and Technology Interim Committee of the Legislature about the charging
428     infrastructure program's activities during the previous calendar year, including information on:
429          (a) the charging infrastructure program's status, operation, funding, and benefits;
430          (b) the disposition of charging infrastructure program funds; and
431          (c) the charging infrastructure program's impact on rates.
