(A) The General Manager shall have the authority, under circumstances where it is economically feasible and beneficial for the Commission to do so, to modify the specific terms of the natural gas agreement entered into between the Commission and a specific end use consumer that is eligible for and has elected to receive service as the General Manager deems necessary to induce such consumer to locate plant facilities in the natural gas service area, or to locate plant expansions that will increase the consumer’s usage of natural gas at its facilities in the natural gas service area, rather than locating such plant facilities or plant expansions in other locations not served by the division.
(B) Notwithstanding any other provision in this chapter, the Commission through its General Manager shall have authority to negotiate terms and grant incentives to encourage commercial and industrial customers to connect to the gas system. Such special contracts shall be limited to commercial or industrial customers who agree to purchase volumes of gas over a period of time sufficient to justify special incentives within the discretion of the Commission. Such special contracts must be reviewed and approved by the Commission on an individual basis. This section shall not be construed to require the Commission to enter into any contract, or to agree to any specific terms, conditions or provisions, with any natural gas customer.
