§ 36-9-31-24 — Energy byproduct sales

An energy byproduct of a facility may not be
sold to a person already being served the same type of energy by a
public utility subject to regulation by the utility regulatory commission;
however, an energy byproduct of a facility may be sold to a person
who:
(1) after the in-service date of the facility is not receiving the
same type energy from the public utility; or
(2) constructs a new facility that is not served the same type
energy by the public utility.
In the case of a new facility that is not served the same type energy by
the public utility, the energy byproduct must first be offered to the
public utility upon the same terms and conditions agreed to in good
faith, by the person who constructs the new facility. If the public utility
fails to accept, in writing, the purchase of the energy byproduct upon
those terms and conditions within forty-five (45) days after the date the
offer is made to the public utility, then the energy byproduct may be
sold directly to the person by the facility.
