HB 882 -- Missouri Residential and Small Business Energy
Efficiency Investment Act

Sponsor:  Kraus

This bill establishes the Missouri Residential and Small Business
Energy Efficiency Investment Act which requires the Missouri
Public Service Commission to allow electric and gas corporations
to implement and recover costs related to commission-approved
energy efficiency programs aimed at customers.  In its main
provisions, the bill:

(1)  Requires the commission to develop cost recovery methods
that value energy efficiency investments equal to or better than
traditional supply-side investments by the company;

(2)  Requires any cost recovery method to take into account lost
energy sales associated with energy efficiency;

(3)  Allows the commission to reduce or exempt energy efficiency
costs for low-income customers and caps the amount that a
customer of any rate class must pay at $5,000 per month;

(4)  Requires the commission to provide oversight, allows it to
adopt rules and procedures, and allows it to approve certain
settlements and tariff provisions to ensure that electric and gas
corporations achieve the goals of the bill; and

(5)  Specifies annual reporting requirements for electric and gas
companies on energy efficiency activities.
