What it does
This bill requires the economic development authority, in cooperation with the Iowa utilities board, to conduct a study regarding the potential opportunities and barriers associated with the development of combined heat and power, which could replace to some degree the purchase of electricity distributed on the electric grid or burning fuel in on-site furnaces. The authority is required to invite participation from interested stakeholders and submit a report to the governor and general assembly by January 13, 2020.
