Minnesota HF4122 establishes requirements for thermal energy network plans, including customer protections and cost recovery.

Minnesota HF4122 sets forth requirements for thermal energy network (TEN) service plans, ensuring customer protections and cost recovery. The bill mandates that TEN service plans include a customer waiver process for those finding the transition financially burdensome or technologically infeasible. It also requires plans to address the decommissioning of existing gas infrastructure and the transition of customers to TEN service. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission must approve TEN service plans, considering factors such as priority zones and cost-effectiveness.
