Official statutory text
Sec. 6.6. (a) As used in this section:
"Clean coal technology" means a technology (including precombustion treatment of coal):
(1) that is used at a new or existing electric generating facility and directly or indirectly reduces airborne emissions of sulfur or nitrogen based pollutants associated with combustion or use of coal; and
(2) that either:
(A) is not in general commercial use at the same or greater scale in new or existing facilities in the United States as of January 1, 1989; or
(B) has been selected by the United States Department of Energy for funding under its Innovative Clean Coal Technology program and is finally approved for such funding on or after January 1, 1989.
"Indiana coal" means coal from a mine whose coal deposits are located in the ground wholly or partially in Indiana regardless of the location of the mine's tipple.
"Qualified pollution control property" means an air pollution control device on a coal burning electric generating facility or any equipment that constitutes clean coal technology that has been approved for use by the commission, that meets applicable state or federal requirements, and that is designed to accommodate the burning of coal from the geological formation known as the Illinois Basin.
"Utility" refers to any electric generating utility allowed by law to earn a return on its investment.
(b) Upon the request of a utility that began construction after October 1, 1985, and before March 31, 2002, of qualified pollution control property that is to be used and useful for the public convenience, the commission shall for ratemaking purposes add to the value of that utility's property the value of the qualified pollution control property under construction, but only if at the time of the application and thereafter:
(1) the facility burns only Indiana coal as its primary fuel source once the air pollution control device is fully operational; or
(2) the utility can prove to the commission that the utility is justified because of economic considerations or governmental requirements in utilizing some non-Indiana coal.
(c) The commission shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to implement this section.
As added by P.L.88-1985, SEC.2. Amended by P.L.23-1988, SEC.21; P.L.105-1989, SEC.2; P.L.159-2002, SEC.3.
