HB 46

This bill expands Wyoming's existing excise tax on wind-generated electricity to also include electricity produced from solar and nuclear resources, creating a unified taxation framework for these three renewable and clean energy sources. The legislation replaces the current separate tax on nuclear-generated electricity with this consolidated approach, and maintains the existing three-year tax exemption for new generating facilities regardless of energy source. The tax applies to each megawatt hour of electricity produced at the point of interconnection with transmission lines, with the new provisions taking effect January 1, 2027, requiring all affected producers to report their production annually by February 1st.
