Sponsor: Representative Marshall, LD 7

Committee on Natural Resources, Energy & Water

Overview

Expands the factors to be considered in issuing a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility (CEC) to include the total character of an area.

History

The Power Plant and Transmission Line Siting Committee (Committee) exists to provide a single forum for the expeditious resolution of all matters concerning the location of electric generating plants and transmission lines in a single proceeding to which access will be open to interest and affected individuals, groups, county and municipal governments and other public bodies to participate in decision-making. The Committee receives all applications for CEC by utilities that intend to construct power plants or transmission lines and makes recommendations to the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) after considering relevant factors. The ACC then considers and votes on the CEC matter in a public open meeting and may accept, reject or modify the Committee's recommendations before issuing a written decision on the CEC application (CC).
