The Missouri Nuclear Clean Power Act (HB 1684 in the 2022 regular session) allows electric corporations to charge ratepayers for the cost of building clean baseload generating plants (specifically new nuclear-fueled facilities) or renewable source generating facilities rated at 200 megawatts or more (including wind, hydropower, solar power, landfill methane, biomass, or any other renewable source of power that does not produce significant carbon emissions) before they are operational. This repeals Section 393.135, RSMo which prohibits electrical corporations from charging for non-operational properties, including construction and financing.
