Natural gas energy standard
Official statutory text
A. The Legislature declares that it is in the public interest
to promote natural gas energy development in order to take advantage
of our state’s vast natural gas resources and its compatibility with
wind energy.
B. It is further declared the intent of the Legislature to
promote natural gas energy development in this state by establishing
a natural gas energy standard to increase the use of natural gas as
an electricity generation fuel.
C. There is hereby established a natural gas energy standard to
supplement the increased volume of renewable energy and to
capitalize on the state’s abundant natural gas resources. The
natural gas energy standard shall be achieved by declaring natural
gas as the preferred choice of electric generation for new
generating facilities in this state.
D. It is the intent of the state that new generating facilities
and added capacity to existing generating facilities built in this
state be powered by natural gas. Any electricity generating entity
in the state choosing a source other than natural gas may provide
evidence to the Corporation Commission, or other appropriate
regulatory body of those entities not regulated by the Commission,
that the fuel source chosen by such entity is in the best interest
of this state’s electric consumers.
