Bill Summary

Electric cogeneration activities power purchase agreement authorization

AI Summary

This bill authorizes a new power purchase agreement between a public utility and a cogeneration facility in St. Paul, Minnesota. The agreement must meet several conditions, including the cogeneration facility continuing to use waste wood as its primary fuel source, complying with regulations on the transport of ash wood due to the emerald ash borer quarantine, and proposing an electrification project to power the St. Paul district heating and cooling system with renewable energy. The Public Utilities Commission is responsible for approving the agreement and electrification project, and may allow the utility to recover costs through an automatic cost recovery mechanism if the project is approved.
