Tax for Utilities Lacking Climate-Resilient Infrastructure

This act introduces a new tax for certain state-regulated electric utilities that have not fully adopted climate-resilient infrastructure. The goal is to encourage these companies to invest in solutions that protect against extreme weather events, potentially leading to more stable energy supplies for citizens and reduced risk of outages.
Key points
New tax imposed on electric utilities without climate-resilient infrastructure.
Applies to companies that pay incentive-based bonuses to their 13 highest-compensated employees.
Aims to incentivize investment in infrastructure capable of reducing the impact of major weather events.
Changes are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022.
