in soil or permanently stored. An
independent spent fuel storage installation located on the site of a
Minnesota nuclear generation facility for dry cask storage of spent
nuclear fuel generated solely by that facility is not a radioactive
waste management facility.
Sec. 2. Minnesota
Statutes 2002, section 116C.779, is amended to read:
116C.779 [FUNDING FOR RENEWABLE DEVELOPMENT.]
Subdivision 1.

Island nuclear generating plant must transfer to a renewable development
account $500,000 each year for each dry cask containing spent fuel that is
located at the independent spent fuel storage installation at Prairie Island
after January 1, 1999. The fund
transfer must be made if waste is stored in a cask for any part of a year.
(b) Funds in the account may be expended only for development
of renewable energy sources.:
(1) payments, not to exceed $2,500,000 annually, by the public
utility under a settlement agreement with the Mdewakanton Dakota
Tribal Council at Prairie Island, a federally recognized Indian tribe,
for resolving outstanding disputes and to be used for, among other
purposes, acquiring land in the state of Minnesota for placement in
trust; and
(2) Preference must be given to development of
renewable energy source projects located within the state.
Payments from the fund in
any year shall first be made to satisfy the terms of the settlement agreement
described in clause (1). No
more than a total of $25,000,000 may be spent from this account for
payments by the public utility to the Mdewakanton Dakota Tribal
Council. Only those projects that have
a direct benefit to Minnesota citizens may be funded under this section.
(b) (c) Expenditures from the account for the
purposes of paragraph (b), clause (2), may only be made after
approval by order of the public utilities commission upon a petition by the public
utility.
(d) Of the amount required to be spent annually from this
account:
(1) up to 25 percent each year must be spent for production
incentives for small wind energy facilities, and production incentives
under this section must not exceed 1.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for a
period not greater than ten years; and
(2) up to 25 percent a year may be used to provide low- or
no-interest loans, grants, or other financial means to reduce the
capital costs for the construction of small wind energy facilities. Capital assistance awards under this clause
may be coordinated through nonprofit entities that provide financial
assistance to rural areas, such as designated federal economic development
districts.
(e) For the purposes of this section, "small wind
energy facility" means a wind energy facility, or group of
facilities, with a nameplate capacity of two megawatts or less that:
(1) is owned by one or more natural persons who are residents
of Minnesota and who own or rent the land where the facility is sited or
is owned by a Minnesota school district;

MEGAWATT COMPLIANCE PROCESS.] (a) If there remain megawatts of biomass power
generating capacity to fulfill the mandate in subdivision 5 after the commission
has taken final action on all contracts filed by September 1, 2000, by a
public utility under subdivision 9, this subdivision governs final
compliance with the biomass energy mandate in subdivision 5 subject to the
requirements of subdivisions 7 and 8.
(b) To the extent not inconsistent with this subdivision, the
provisions of subdivisions 2, 3, 4, and 5 apply to proposals subject to this
subdivision.
(c) A public utility must submit proposals to the commission to
complete the biomass mandate. The commission
shall require a public utility subject to this section to issue a request for
competitive proposals for projects for electric generation utilizing biomass as
defined in paragraph (f) of this subdivision to provide the remaining megawatts
of the mandate. The commission shall
set an expedited schedule for submission of proposals to the utility, selection
by the utility of proposals or projects, negotiation of contracts, and review
by the commission of the contracts or projects submitted by the utility to the
commission.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions 1 to 5 but
subject to the provisions of subdivisions 7 and 8, a new or existing facility
proposed under this subdivision that is fueled either by biomass or by
co-firing biomass with nonbiomass may satisfy the mandate in this section. Such a facility need not use biomass that
complies with the definition in subdivision 1 if it uses biomass as defined in
paragraph (f) of this subdivision.
Generating capacity produced by co-firing of biomass that is
operational as of April 25, 2000, does not meet the requirements of the
mandate, except that additional co-firing capacity added at an existing
facility after April 25, 2000, may be used to satisfy this mandate. Only the number of megawatts of capacity at
a facility which co-fires biomass that are directly attributable to the biomass
and that become operational after April 25, 2000, final commission
action under subdivision 9 count toward meeting the biomass mandate
in this section.
(e) Nothing in this subdivision precludes a facility proposed
and approved under this subdivision from using fuel sources that are not
biomass in compliance with subdivision 3.
(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision 1, for
proposals subject to this subdivision, "biomass" includes:
(1) farm-grown closed-loop biomass; agricultural
wastes, including animal, poultry, and plant wastes
(2) methane or other combustible gases derived from the processing
of plant or animal material;
(3) alternative fuels derived from soybean and other agricultural
plant oils or animal fats;
(4) combustion of barley hulls, corn, soy-based products or
other agricultural products or wastes; and
(5) waste wood, including chipped wood, bark, brush,
residue wood, and sawdust.
(g) Nothing in this subdivision affects in any way contracts
entered into as of April 25, 2000, to satisfy the mandate in subdivision 5.
(h) Nothing in this subdivision requires a public utility to
retrofit its own power plants for the purpose of co‑firing biomass fuel,
nor is a utility prohibited from retrofitting its own power plants for the
purpose of co-firing biomass fuel to meet the requirements of this subdivision.
Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 216B.2424, subdivision 8, is

BIOMASS REQUIREMENT.] Of the 125 megawatts mandated in subdivision 5, at least
75 megawatts of the generating capacity must be generated by facilities that
use agricultural biomass as the principal fuel source. For purposes of this subdivision,
agricultural biomass includes only farm-grown closed-loop biomass and
agricultural waste, including animal, poultry, and plant wastes those
biomass fuel sources listed in subdivision 6, paragraph (f), clauses (1)
to (4). For purposes of this
subdivision, "principal fuel source" means a fuel source that
satisfies at least 75 percent of the fuel requirements of an electric power
generating facility. Nothing in this
subdivision is intended to expand the fuel source requirements of subdivision
5.
Sec. 8. Minnesota
