No price guarantee under this section may be based upon a cost-plus arrangement, or variant thereof, which guarantees a profit to the owner or operator involved.
The use of a cost-of-service pricing mechanism by a person* pursuant to law, or by a regulatory body establishing rates for a regulated person, shall not be deemed to be a cost-plus arrangement, or variant thereof, for purposes of paragraph (1).
Each price guarantee, or commitment to guarantee, which is made under this section shall specify the maximum dollar amount of liability of the United States under that guarantee.
If the Secretary determines, in the discretion of the Secretary, that—
a biomass energy project* would not otherwise be satisfactorily completed or continued, and
completion or continuation of such project would be necessary to achieve the purposes of this chapter,
the sales price set forth in the price guarantee, and maximum liability under such guarantee, may be renegotiated.
