Sec. 16-258c. Dual-fuel capability requirements for electric generating facilities. On and after January 1, 2008, the Department of Public Utility Control shall order
and direct that any intermediate or base load electric generating unit owned by an electric
distribution company or covered by a bilateral contract with an electric distribution
company that is fueled by either oil or natural gas, with a rating of not less than sixty-five megawatts, shall have the actual ability to operate on demand for a forty-eight-hour
period using either oil or natural gas, provided the department may determine that dual
fuel capability is not required for a specific generating unit if imposing such requirement
is not in the best interest of Connecticut consumers.
