The Arkansas Public Service Commission shall establish rates to be paid by an electric utility to qualifying cogeneration and small power production facilities which do not, over the term of the purchased power contract, exceed avoided costs and are based upon the preponderance of evidence in the record before the commission. However, rates established for purchases from qualifying facilities whose construction commenced earlier than November 9, 1978, may be ten percent (10%) less than avoided costs.
