The Commission shall adopt regulations to establish methods and programs for a public utility which purchases natural gas for resale that remove financial disincentives which discourage the public utility from supporting energy conservation, including, without limitation:

(a)

Procedures for a public utility which purchases natural gas for resale to have a mechanism established during a general rate application filed pursuant to NRS 704.110 to ensure that the costs of the public utility for providing service are recovered without regard to the difference in the quantity of natural gas actually sold by the public utility by taking into account the adjusted and annualized quantity of natural gas sold during a test year and the growth in the number of customers of the public utility;

(b)

Procedures for a public utility which purchases natural gas for resale to apply to the Commission for approval of an activity relating to increasing energy efficiency or energy conservation; and

(c)

Procedures for a public utility which purchases natural gas for resale to apply to the Commission for the recovery of costs associated with an activity approved by the Commission pursuant to paragraph (b).
