    2         An act relating to energy infrastructure investment;
    3         amending s. 366.075, F.S.; authorizing the Public
    4         Service Commission to establish an experimental
    5         mechanism that meets certain requirements to
    6         facilitate certain energy infrastructure investment in
    7         gas; providing requirements for gas infrastructure
    8         investments; authorizing the commission to make
    9         certain determinations regarding the experimental
   10         mechanism; defining the term “gas”; requiring the
   11         commission to adopt rules and propose such rules by a

   14  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
   15  
   16         Section 1. Subsection (3) is added to section 366.075,
   17  Florida Statutes, to read:
   18         366.075 Experimental and transitional rates; experimental
   19  mechanisms.—
   20         (3) The commission may establish an experimental mechanism
   21  to facilitate energy infrastructure investment in gas consistent
   22  with the structure set forth in s. 366.96(7) and (8) and the
   23  intent of s. 366.91(1). Such gas infrastructure investment may
   24  include only such investments that collect, prepare, clean,
   25  process, transport, or inject gas as a transportation fuel or
   26  for pipeline distribution. The commission shall have discretion
   27  to determine whether such mechanism is conducted in an annual
   28  proceeding. As used in this subsection, the term “gas” means
   29  anaerobically generated biogas, landfill gas, or wastewater
   30  treatment gas refined to a methane content of 90 percent or
   31  greater which may be used as a transportation fuel or for
   32  pipeline distribution. The commission shall adopt rules to
   33  implement and administer this subsection and shall propose such
   34  rules for adoption as soon as practicable but no later than
   35  January 1, 2026.
   36         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2025.
