216B.1637 RECOVERY OF CERTAIN LIMITED UTILITY GREENHOUSE GAS
INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS.
    A public utility that owns a nuclear power plant and a public utility furnishing gas service
may file for recovery of investments and expenses associated with the replacement of cast
iron natural gas distribution and service lines owned by the utility and to replace breakers that
contain sodium hexafluoride in order to reduce the risk of greenhouse gases being released into
the atmosphere. Upon a finding that the projects are consistent with the public interest and
do not impose excessive costs on customers, the commission shall provide timely recovery
of the utility's investment and expenses on any approved projects through a rate adjustment
mechanism similar to that provided for transmission projects under section 216B.16, subdivision
7b , paragraphs (b) to (d).
