It is hereby declared to be the public policy of this state to encourage the development of cogeneration facilities to conserve energy resources and further industrial economic development in this state to the extent such encouragement is not inconsistent with the maintenance of just and reasonable electric rates to consumers of electric utilities. It is necessary for growth and job opportunities to encourage new investment in energy producing systems to remain competitive and allow for the sustained economic development of this state, consistent with just and reasonable treatment of electric consumers of this state.
