Sec. 22. (a) This section applies to an energy utility that petitions the commission for approval of a project to serve a large load customer.

(b) An energy utility may submit to the commission a petition for approval of a project to serve a large load customer only if the following are satisfied:

(1) The petition concerns serving the energy needs of a large load customer.

(2) The large load customer commits to significant and meaningful financial assurances that must:

(A) include reimbursement by the large load customer of at least eighty percent (80%) of the project costs reasonably allocable to the large load customer;  and

(B) afford protections for the energy utility's existing and future customers from project costs reasonably allocable to the large load customer regardless of whether the large load customer ultimately takes service in the anticipated amount and within the anticipated time frame.

(3) At least thirty (30) days before the energy utility's submission of the petition to the commission, the energy utility held at least one (1) pre-filing meeting with:

(A) the corporation;

(B) the office;

(C) the office of utility consumer counselor;

(D) the appropriate regional transmission organization;  and

(1) one (1) or more large load customers at one (1) or more locations;  or

(2) not more than four (4) customers whose aggregate demand satisfies the amount set forth in section 10(1) of this chapter.

In any case in which more than one (1) large load customer is to be served by a project, a reference in this chapter to one (1) large load customer is a reference to all large load customers to be served by the project, in accordance with IC 1-1-4-1(3).

(d) In submitting a petition to the commission under this section, an energy utility must demonstrate that the large load customer and the associated projects meet the requirements of this chapter.
