At least two bills in the General Assembly this year deal with small modular nuclear reactors and their possible use for powering homes and businesses.
One of those bills (SB424) would give the utilities a way to recover some of the costs of the experimental power generation from ratepayers without having a certificate of public convenience, which is how lawmakers and utilities refer to you, the paying customer.
Another bill (SB423), which was discussed Tuesday in the House Utilities Energy and Telecommunications Committee, would make partnerships possible between utilities and many other kinds of entities, to help pay for the technology.
The bills still must pass the House to become law.
