Minn. R. agency 138, ch. 7849, CERTIFICATES OF NEED, pt. 7849.0030
A person applying for a certificate of need for an LEGF or an LHVTL shall provide the information required by parts 7849.0010 to 7849.0400. A certificate of need is required for a new LEGF, a new LHVTL, and for expansion of either facility when the expansion is itself of sufficient size to come within the definition of "large electric generating facility" or "large high voltage transmission line" in part 7849.0010. The nominal generating capability of an LEGF is considered its size. If the nominal generating capability of an LEGF varies by season, the higher of the two seasonal figures is considered its size.
Notwithstanding subpart 1, a certificate of need is not required for a facility exempted by Minnesota Statutes, section 216B.243, subdivision 8.
