Iowa seeks ROFR changes in sweeping energy bill
The 53 page measure would back nuclear power and energy storage in Iowa. It creates a right of first refusal for incumbent transmission firms, allows advanced ratemaking, adds land restoration rules, and lets tariffs fund new programs. Critics say ROFR may curb competition and raise costs and debates over planning reports spark partisan friction. Regulators and industry groups cite studies for and against ROFR, while momentum to pass the bill stalls in the Legislature.
