Title 225 CMR 21.00 - Clean Peak Energy Portfolio Standard (CPS)
Section 21.01 - Purpose and Application

Universal Citation: 225 MA Code of Regs 225.21
Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

The purpose of 225 CMR 21.00 is to establish a Clean Peak Energy Portfolio Standard to increase clean energy during the periods when Net Demand of electricity is the highest. Clean Peak Resources contribute to the Commonwealth's environmental protection goals concerning air emissions including, but not limited to, those required by the Global Warming Solutions Act, M.G.L. c. 21N, §§ 1-9, by displacing nonrenewable generating resources during Seasonal Peak Periods, while also having added benefits of reducing peak demand and system losses and increasing grid reliability. Clean Peak Resources that participate in the CPS program pursuant to 225 CMR 21.00 do so on a voluntary basis, but must comply with the terms and requirements of 225 CMR 21.00.
