| 7 | on page 8, lines 24 and 25, by replacing "be focused on | ||||||

| 11 | proposals that replace leak-prone natural gas distribution | ||||||
| 12 | infrastructure with distribution infrastructure that supplies | ||||||
| 13 | non-combusting thermal energy or that replaces thermal energy | ||||||
| 14 | for buildings currently heated with electric resistance | ||||||
| 15 | heat."; and | ||||||
| 16 | on page 10, immediately below line 7, by inserting the | ||||||

| 17 | utility developing a thermal energy network project that | ||||||
| 18 | includes an industrial heat application may recover rates | ||||||
| 19 | proportionally from each class of customer.". | ||||||
