Electric generation facility decommission and repurpose plan submission required for a scheduled retirement.

HF 486 requires coal-fired electric generation facilities scheduled for retirement in 2027 or 2031, located within the Mississippi River - St. Cloud Watershed, to submit a decommissioning and repurposing plan by February 1, 2027. The bill mandates that public utilities provide this plan to the Public Utilities Commission and share it with the local municipality where the facility is located. The plan must include specific details on how the facility will be repurposed (if possible) and a timeline for the retirement process. This applies only to coal plants in the specified watershed and does not cover other energy sources or facilities outside that geographic area. The requirement is tied to the utility's next resource plan filing or a separate filing if needed before the deadline.
