(b) The provisions of this section shall apply if the cost of the Kansas coal, including costs of transportation and handling at the new coal-fired electricity generating facility, is:

(2) sold on comparable contractual terms and specification; and
(3) of an acceptable quality for use in the new coal-fired electricity generating facility.
