Allows Electrical Corporations to Charge Construction Costs in Progress
Summary
Missouri HB2122 was passed by the House on April 7, 2026, allowing electrical corporations to charge customers for services based on construction work in progress costs. The bill passed with a vote of 95-53 after being referred to the Utilities Committee. This legislation modifies how utility companies can recover infrastructure investment costs from ratepayers during the construction phase.
What changed
Missouri HB2122 adds a new provision allowing electrical corporations to charge customers based on the costs of certain construction work performed or in progress. This changes the traditional utility rate recovery mechanism by permitting utilities to collect from ratepayers before construction is completed, rather than only after infrastructure is placed in service.
For energy companies and electrical corporations operating in Missouri, this bill provides a new revenue recovery pathway for capital investments in progress. Ratepayers may see changes to how utility charges are structured and when costs appear on their bills. The Missouri Public Service Commission will likely need to develop implementing rules or modify existing tariff approval processes to accommodate this new cost recovery mechanism.
What to do next
- Energy companies operating as electrical corporations in Missouri should review billing practices for alignment with new construction cost recovery provisions
- Monitor for Senate action and any additional implementing regulations from Missouri Public Service Commission
- Update financial projections to account for new construction work in progress cost recovery mechanisms
