(b) Except as provided in RSA 378:6, IV, for all other schedules filed with the commission, the commission may, by an order served upon the public utility affected, suspend the taking effect of said schedule and forbid the demanding or collecting of rates, fares, charges or prices covered by the schedule for such period or periods, not to exceed 3 months from the date of the order of suspension, but if the investigation cannot be concluded within a period of 3 months, the commission in its discretion and with reasonable explanation may extend the time of suspension for 5 additional months. II. If a public utility submits a rate schedule which incorporates a newly completed generating facility into the rate base and the capital investment for the new facility exceeds 50 percent of the total capital investment of the public utility, the commission may suspend the schedule as provided in paragraph I, except that such suspension shall not exceed 18 months. The total capital investment of the public utility shall include the capital investment of the new facility. The commission may suspend a schedule under this paragraph only once in relation to each new facility. III.
