Section 111(d) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ( 16 U.S.C. 2621(d) ) (as amended by section 7) is amended by adding at the end the following: Each State regulatory authority shall consider nontransmission alternatives in instances in which a regulated utility proposes transmission projects. To reduce the cost to the ratepayer of a potential transmission upgrade, a nontransmission alternative considered under subparagraph (A), shall receive the avoided cost of the transmission upgrade, minus a reasonable discount, as determined by the State regulatory authority. If a nontransmission alternative proposed under subparagraph
(A)obviates the need for a reliability-based transmission upgrade, the cost of the nontransmission alternative shall be recovered from the ratebase in the same manner as the transmission upgrade would have been. .
