CHEYENNE – Wyoming lawmakers rejected a pair of bills Thursday aiming to raise revenues through the state’s energy industries, one of which would establish an excise tax on electricity production in the state and another that would increase the tax burden for the wind energy industry.
Lawmakers on the Joint Revenue Committee heard hours worth of public testimony on the two bills, with the bulk of comments regarding legislation to double the state’s tax on wind energy generation, from $1 per Megawatt-hour to $2, and eliminate a tax exemption that applies to new wind energy projects in their first three years.
