359          (c) includes a transportation plan that promotes:
360          (i) the deployment of utility-owned vehicle charging infrastructure in the public
361     interest; and
362          (ii) the availability of utility vehicle charging service.
363          (3) Before submitting a proposed charging infrastructure program to the commission
364     for commission approval under Subsection (2), a large-scale electric utility shall seek and
365     consider input from:
366          (a) the Division of Public Utilities, established in Section 54-4a-1;

367          (b) the Office of Consumer Services, created in Section 54-10a-201;
368          (c) the Division of Air Quality, created in Section 19-1-105;
369          (d) the Department of Transportation, created in Section 72-1-201;
370          (e) the Governor's Office of Economic Development, created in Section 63N-1-201;
371          (f) the Office of Energy Development, created in Section 63M-4-401;
372          (g) the board of the Utah Inland Port Authority, created in Section 11-58-201;
373          (h) representatives of the Point of the Mountain State Land Development Authority,
374     created in Section 11-59-201;
375          (i) third-party electric vehicle battery charging service operators; and
376          (j) any other person who files a request for notice with the commission.
377          (4) The commission shall find a charging infrastructure program to be in the public
378     interest if the commission finds that the charging infrastructure program:
379          (a) increases the availability of electric vehicle battery charging service in the state;
380          (b) enables the significant deployment of infrastructure that supports electric vehicle
381     battery charging service and utility-owned vehicle charging infrastructure in a manner
382     reasonably expected to increase electric vehicle adoption;
383          (c) includes an evaluation of investments in the areas of the authority jurisdictional
384     land, as defined in Section 11-58-102, and the point of the mountain state land, as defined in
385     Section 11-59-102;
386          (d) enables competition, innovation, and customer choice in electric vehicle battery
387     charging services, while promoting low-cost services for electric vehicle battery charging
388     customers; and
389          (e) provides for ongoing coordination with the Department of Transportation, created
390     in Section 72-1-201.
391          (5) The commission may, consistent with Subsection (2), approve an amendment to the
392     charging infrastructure program if the large-scale electric utility demonstrates that the
393     amendment:
394          (i) is prudent;
395          (ii) will provide net benefits to customers; and
396          (iii) is otherwise consistent with the requirements of Subsection (2).
397          (6) The commission shall authorize recovery of a large-scale electric utility's

398     investment in utility-owned vehicle charging infrastructure through a balancing account or
399     other ratemaking treatment that reflects:
400          (a) charging infrastructure program costs associated with prudent investment, including
401     the large-scale electric utility's pre-tax average weighted cost of capital approved by the
402     commission in the large-scale electric utility's most recent general rate proceeding, and
403     associated revenue and prudently incurred expenses; and
404          (b) a carrying charge.
405          (7) A large-scale electric utility's investment in utility-owned vehicle charging
406     infrastructure is prudently made if the large-scale electric utility demonstrates in a formal
407     adjudicative proceeding before the commission that the investment can reasonably be
408     anticipated to:
409          (a) result in one or more projects that are in the public interest of the large-scale
410     electric utility's customers to reduce transportation sector emissions over a reasonable time
411     period as determined by the commission;
412          (b) provide the large-scale electric utility's customers significant benefits that may
413     include revenue from utility vehicle charging service that offsets the large-scale electric utility's
414     costs and expenses; and
415          (c) facilitate any other measure that the commission determines:
416          (i) promotes deployment of utility-owned vehicle charging infrastructure and utility
417     vehicle charging service; or
418          (ii) creates significant benefits in the long term for customers of the large-scale electric
419     utility.
420          (8) A large-scale electric utility that establishes and implements a charging
421     infrastructure program shall annually, on or before June 1, submit a written report to the Public
422     Utilities, Energy, and Technology Interim Committee of the Legislature about the charging
423     infrastructure program's activities during the previous calendar year, including information on:
424          (a) the charging infrastructure program's status, operation, funding, and benefits;
425          (b) the disposition of charging infrastructure program funds; and
426          (c) the charging infrastructure program's impact on rates.
