(a) The commissioner shall adopt regulations, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54, establishing standards for use by said commissioner in designating certain energy-saving capital projects as priority energy projects. Any agency of the state may apply to the commissioner for such designation with respect to an energy-saving capital project. The commissioner shall, within ninety days after an application is received by him, either make or refuse to make such designation.
(b) In determining whether to make such designation, the commissioner shall consider among other things the extent to which such project would conserve energy, the time that would normally be required to obtain all necessary agency decisions, the adverse effects of delay in the completion of such project, comments received concerning such project and the extent to which the project has been assessed in terms of cost effectiveness and energy efficiency.
(c) On or before February 1, 1992, each commissioner of a state agency, as defined in section 4-166, shall submit a report to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to energy and public utilities listing the projects initiated pursuant to subsection (a) of this section.
