Bill > SF1455

This bill modifies the definition of a "large energy facility" in Minnesota statutes by specifically changing the storage capacity threshold for liquefied natural gas or synthetic gas facilities from 100,000 gallons to 1,000,000 gallons. This means that only facilities designed to store more than 1 million gallons of liquefied or synthetic gas on a single site would now be classified as a large energy facility, which could impact regulatory requirements and oversight. The change appears to significantly raise the threshold for what qualifies as a large energy facility in terms of gas storage, potentially reducing the number of facilities that would be subject to specific state energy regulations. All other definitions of large energy facilities in the statute, such as electric power generating plants, high-voltage transmission lines, pipelines, and fuel conversion facilities, remain unchanged.
