Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe made it official..
Under a bill he signed this week, a new law will allow utilities to charge ratepayers for power plants before they’re completed.
One consumer group called it “nothing more than a profit-driven package that benefits utilities at the expense of hard-working Missouri families.”
Gov. Keyhoe offered a different take on the issue.
“With this legislation, Missouri is well-positioned to attract new industry, support job growth, and maintain affordable, reliable energy for our citizens,” Kehoe said in a statement. “This is about powering Missouri for Missourians and not relying on other states and countries to produce our power.”
