Dear Representative Delperdang:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2588 by House Committee on Energy, Utilities and
Telecommunications
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2588 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2588 would amend current law to increase the capacity limitation for the total amount
of generation facilitates subject to net metering, require generation facilities to be appropriately
sized, and establish requirements for exporting power to a utility. The bill would generally apply
to interconnection agreements between Kansas customer-generators and utilities. The bill would
establish certain parameters on the availability of these agreements relative to total utility rate
generation, capacity size of qualifying customer generation facilities, and the availability of time-
varying rates for customer generators.
The Kansas Corporation Commission indicates that the enactment of the bill would not
have a fiscal effect on KCC’s revenues or expenditures. The Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board
(CURB) indicates that the enactment of the bill, with respect to utility rates in general, could open
a general docket with the Kansas Corporation Commission, but the proceedings are not likely to
have a fiscal effect on CURB’s revenues or expenditures.
The Kansas Association of Counties indicates that the fiscal effect associated with the
enactment of the bill cannot be estimated for county governments. The League of Kansas
Municipalities indicates that the enactment of the bill would have a fiscal effect on cities from the The Honorable Leo Delperdang, Chairperson
