Submission of a decommissioning and repurposing plan requirement for a schedule retirement of an electric generation facility
This bill requires public utilities owning coal-fired power plants scheduled for retirement in 2027 or 2031 within the Mississippi River - St. Cloud Watershed to submit a decommissioning and repurposing plan by February 1, 2027. The plan must detail how the facility will be shut down and potentially reused, and must be shared with both the Public Utilities Commission and the local municipality. It applies specifically to coal plants in that watershed, not all power facilities. The requirement is tied to the utility's next resource plan filing or submitted separately if no plan is filed before the deadline.
