• Defines key terms including 'DC fast charging station' (a device meeting SAE International Standard J1772 specifications), 'energy resource category' (coal, natural gas, wind, solar, hydroelectric, nuclear, petroleum, biomass, biogas, geothermal, or other sources), and 'public utility' as defined in W.S. 37-1-101(a)(vi). (W.S. 40-32-101)
• Requires operators of DC fast charging stations receiving electricity only from a public utility to display a 3-inch by 3-inch label identifying the single largest energy resource category provided by the utility in the prior calendar year, based on the utility's energy mix in the service territory where the station is located. (W.S. 40-32-102(a))
• Requires operators of DC fast charging stations with both on-site generation and public utility electricity to display a label identifying whichever energy resource category constituted the single largest share of electricity supply in the prior calendar year. (W.S. 40-32-102(b))
• If the largest energy resource category represents less than 50 percent of electricity supplied to the station, the label must identify the two largest energy resource categories instead of one. (W.S. 40-32-102(c))
• Requires public utilities to provide operators with information about the single largest or two largest energy resource categories upon request, calculated based on the utility's energy mix in the certificated service territory, but not on a per-meter basis. (W.S. 40-32-102(d))
• Requires operators to update the required label annually by March 31 based on the prior calendar year's energy mix. (W.S. 40-32-102(e))
