2. (b) due consideration has been given to the findings and recommendations of Local Governments;
3. (c) in the case of LCTDIFs, SCTDIFs and natural Gas pipelines, due consideration has been given to advanced conductors, advanced transmission technologies, grid enhancement technologies, non-wires or non-pipeline alternatives, the repair or retirement of pipelines and other alternatives in an effort to avoid or minimize expenditures;
4. (d) in the case of LCTDIFs and SCTDIFs, the infrastructure or Project will increase the capacity of the system to interconnect large electricity customers, electric vehicle supply equipment, clean energy generation, clean energy storage, or other clean energy generation sources that qualify under 310 CMR 7.75: Clean Energy Standard or will facilitate the electrification of the building and transportation sectors;
