  1  5    "Sec.    .  Section 476.44, subsection 2, Code
  1  6 2001, is amended to read as follows:
  1  7    2.  a.  An electric utility subject to this
  1  8 division, except a utility which that elects rate
  1  9 regulation pursuant to section 476.1A, shall not be
  1 10 required to purchase, at any one time, more than its
  1 11 scheduled percentage share of one hundred five
  1 12 megawatts of power its Iowa retail load from
  1 13 alternative energy production facilities or small
  1 14 hydro facilities at the rates established pursuant to
  1 15 section 476.43.  The board shall allocate the one
  1 16 hundred five megawatts make the allocations based upon
  1 17 each utility's percentage of the total Iowa retail
  1 18 peak demand, for the each year beginning January 1,
  1 19 1990, of all utilities subject to this section, based
  1 20 on the following schedule:
  1 21    (1)  Until January 1, 2004, two percent.
  1 22    (2)  Beginning January 1, 2005, five percent.
  1 23    (3)  Beginning January 1, 2006, six percent.
  1 24    (4)  Beginning January 1, 2007, seven percent.
  1 25    (5)  Beginning January 1, 2008, eight percent.
  1 26    (6)  Beginning January 1, 2009, nine percent.
  1 27    (7)  Beginning January 1, 2010, ten percent.
  1 28    b.  If a utility undergoes reorganization as
  1 29 defined in section 476.76, the board shall combine the
  1 30 allocated purchases of power for each utility involved
  1 31 in the reorganization.
  1 32    c.  Notwithstanding the one hundred five megawatt
  1 33 current applicable maximum, the board may increase the
  1 34 amount of power that a utility is required to purchase
  1 35 at the rates established pursuant to section 476.43 if
  1 36 the board finds that a utility, including a
  1 37 reorganized utility, exceeds its 1990 previous Iowa
  1 38 retail peak demand level by twenty percent, and the
  1 39 additional power the utility is required to purchase
  1 40 will encourage the development of alternate energy
  1 41 production facilities and small hydro facilities.  The
  1 42 increase shall not exceed the utility's increase in
  1 43 peak demand multiplied by the ratio of the utility's
  1 44 share of the one hundred five megawatt current
  1 45 scheduled maximum to its 1990 Iowa retail peak demand.
  1 46    d.  At least five percent of an electric utility's
  1 47 yearly scheduled allocation pursuant to the schedule
  1 48 in paragraph "a" shall be derived from alternate
  1 49 energy production facilities or small hydro facilities
  1 50 with an electrical energy production capacity of three
  2  1 megawatts or less, if available."
