(1) If a public utility is allowed by law to earn a return on the public utility's investment, the public utility may add to the fair value of the public utility's property the fair value of a completed capital project, or part of a capital project, that:
(A) is constructed and consists of:
(i) new systems, equipment, or facilities; or
(ii) modifications to existing systems, equipment, or facilities; and
