AI Generated Summary
This bill requires that any public utility in Minnesota that owns a coal-fired power plant scheduled to retire by 2031 must submit a detailed plan by February 1, 2027. This plan must outline how the plant will be decommissioned and repurposed. The plan needs to be included in the utility's next resource plan submission to the state. Additionally, the utility must share this plan with the local government of the area where the plant is located. If the utility does not have a resource plan due before February 2027, they must submit their decommissioning and repurposing plan as a separate document by that date.
