                electric utilities.
        Except for such nonrevenue producing, nonexpense reducing
     investments as may be reasonably shown to be necessary to
     improve environmental conditions at existing facilities or
     improve safety at existing facilities or as may be required to
     convert facilities to the utilization of coal, the cost of
     construction or expansion of a facility undertaken by a public
     utility producing, generating, transmitting, distributing or
     furnishing electricity shall not be made a part of the rate base
     nor otherwise included in the rates charged by the electric
     utility until such time as the facility is used and useful in

     electric utility property shall be deemed used and useful until
     it is presently providing actual utility service to the
     customers.
