The Honorable Leo Delperdang, Chairperson
House Committee on Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 582-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Delperdang:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2227 by House Committee on Energy, Utilities and
Telecommunications
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2227 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2227 would permit contractual agreements between renewable energy suppliers and
host customer-generators in which the supplier agrees to install, own, and operate an eligible
renewable energy generation facility on the premises owned or otherwise controlled by the host,
and the host agrees to purchase the electricity produced by such facility for a defined period of
time. Such sales would be exempt from the Retail Electric Suppliers Act. HB 2227 would also
require electric utilities to enter into parallel generation contracts with United States military
installations and eligible hospitals and religious organizations.
The Kansas Corporation Commission and the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board indicate
that enactment of HB 2227 would not have a fiscal effect on agency operations.
Sincerely,
Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
