Bill overview
This bill, the West Virginia Energy Efficiency Jobs Creation Act, aims to boost energy efficiency in the state by requiring electric utilities to develop and implement energy efficiency programs. It establishes goals for utilities to achieve electricity savings and conservation, potentially through demand response programs and a ‘self-direct’ option for large customers. The Public Service Commission will oversee these efforts and ensure utilities meet specific targets, with potential repayment required for customers who fail to meet minimum energy efficiency goals.

- Establishes cumulative electricity savings targets for utilities based on 2020 sales.
