Sec. 2. As used in this chapter, "clean energy projects" means any of the following:
(1) Any of the following projects:
(A) Projects at new energy production or generating facilities that employ the use of clean coal technology and that produce energy, including substitute natural gas, primarily from coal, or gases derived from coal, from the geological formation known as the Illinois Basin.
(B) Projects to provide advanced technologies that reduce regulated air emissions from or increase the efficiency of existing energy production or generating plants that are fueled primarily by coal or gases from coal from the geological formation known as the Illinois Basin, such as flue gas desulfurization and selective catalytic reduction equipment.
(C) Projects to provide electric transmission facilities to serve a new energy production or generating facility or a nuclear energy production or generating facility.
(D) Projects that produce substitute natural gas from Indiana coal by construction and operation of a coal gasification facility.
(E) Projects or potential projects:
(i) to construct, after June 30, 2023, one (1) or more small modular nuclear reactors in Indiana for the generation of electricity to be directly or indirectly used to furnish public utility service to Indiana customers, or at the site of a nuclear energy production or generating facility that supplies electricity to Indiana retail customers on July 1, 2011, under rules adopted by the commission under IC 8-1-8.5-12.1; or
(ii) that enhance the safe and reliable use of nuclear energy production or generating technologies to produce electricity.
(2) Projects to develop alternative energy sources, including renewable energy resource projects or coal gasification facilities.
(3) The purchase of fuels or energy produced by a coal gasification facility or by a nuclear energy production or generating facility.
(4) Projects described in subdivisions (1) through (2) that use coal bed methane.
(5) Projects to construct or repower a facility described in IC 8-1-37-4(a)(21).
