** G011/M-17-409 Minnesota Energy Resources Corporation
In the Matter of a Petition by the Minnesota Energy Resources Corporation (MERC) for Approval of Farm Tap Customer-Owned Fuel Line Replacement Plan, Tariff Amendments, and Deferred Accounting.
1. Should the Commission accept MERC's Phase I report and permit continued deferred accounting of the costs incurred through the evaluation and implementation of Phase II?
2. Has MERC provided the information required in the Commission's November 30, 2017 Order?
3. Should the Commission determine that the costs incurred in Phase I and Phase II of the farm tap project satisfy the definition of gas utility infrastructure costs, and therefore, are eligible for recovery in a future GUIC Rider filing?
4. Should the Commission authorize MERC to move forward with implementation of its revised Phase II farm tap replacement project and approve the proposed schedule for the implementation of Phase II? (PUC: Bonnett, McShane)
