The state's largest natural gas utility, CenterPoint Energy, is proposing state legislation allowing it to more easily launch clean-energy initiatives that would be partly funded by ratepayers.
Under the legislation unveiled Thursday, a natural gas utility could submit an "alternative resource plan" to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Such plans would include renewable natural gas — gas created from landfills, sewage and livestock manure — as well as new technologies like carbon capture and hydrogen gas production.
