What’s in it
This bill requires rate-regulated public utilities to disclose the portion in each customer billing statement used for the recovery of costs for purchasing fossil fuels to produce energy. The amount shall be based on the projected costs of purchasing fossil fuels as a share of the public utility’s expected annual Iowa retail rate revenue, not including revenues from retail customers that have opted to receive energy generated by renewable energy sources, as defined in the bill.
