public utilities; plant construction; colocation

Summary

The bill permits a public utility to build a new power plant without an environmental compatibility certificate if the plant is located beside a large industrial energy user that has proper zoning. The utility must give the Arizona Corporation Commission 30 days’ written notice and hold at least one public comment session in the county. The commission would be required to adopt rules defining “colocated” and “large industrial energy user.”
