Fast charging stations would label their main electricity sources

Operators would display a label naming the largest energy source used to supply the station during the prior calendar year. The rule covers operators of direct-current fast charging stations in Wyoming that receive electricity from a public utility. It does not cover stations using only on-site electricity. For stations that receive utility electricity and no other electricity, the utility would calculate the largest source from the mix in the station's service area and disclose it to the operator. For stations that also generate and use electricity on-site, the label would name the largest source among the on-site and utility electricity used. If the largest source supplied less than half of the electricity, the label would name the two largest sources. Operators would update the label each year by March 31, using the prior calendar year's electricity mix. The bill proposes an effective date of July 1, 2026.

An operator who violated the labeling rule would be guilty of a misdemeanor and could be fined up to $750. The penalty applies to an operator of a covered direct-current fast charging station who violates the labeling rule.
