(2) (e) 2. Notwithstanding reasonable efforts to protect against
5unreasonable increases in rates of the applicant's ratepayers or members,
6compliance with the deadline will result in unreasonable increases in rates of the
7applicant's ratepayers or members, including increases that are due to the
8discontinuation of federal renewable energy tax credits or other federal policies
9intended to reduce the acquisition costs of renewable energy.
For purposes of this
10subdivision, a rate increase is unreasonable if the increase is 1 percent or more. If
11the commission determines that unreasonable rate increases will result as specified
12under this subdivision, the commission shall, if the electric provider requested a
1delay, grant a 5-year delay, or, if the electric provider requested a waiver, grant a
25-year waiver.".
