Bill > HF2248

This bill modifies the definition of a "large energy facility" in Minnesota state law by increasing the threshold for liquefied natural gas or synthetic gas storage from 100,000 gallons to 1,000,000 gallons at a single site. The bill amends an existing statute that defines what constitutes a large energy facility for regulatory purposes, which currently includes various energy infrastructure such as power generating plants, high-voltage transmission lines, pipelines, and storage facilities. The specific change would significantly raise the storage capacity requirement for gas facilities to be classified as a "large energy facility," potentially reducing the number of facilities that would be subject to certain regulatory oversight or permitting requirements. This modification could impact how energy infrastructure projects are evaluated and regulated in Minnesota, potentially providing more flexibility for larger gas storage facilities while maintaining existing definitions for other types of energy infrastructure.
