The commission, by rule or order, may waive the requirements of this section for an investor-owned transmission and distribution utility for the portion of the service territory of that utility that is located in an area of this State in which the retail market is administered by the independent system administrator for northern Maine if the commission finds that implementation of the requirements of this section is unduly burdensome or cost-prohibitive in that portion of the utility's service territory.
