(A)
As used in this rule, "renewable energy resource" has
the meaning set forth in division (A)(37) of section
4928.01 of the Revised
Code.
(B)
Each competitive retail electric service (CRES)
provider shall list on all customer bills sent by the CRES provider that do not
include electric distribution utility (EDU) charges the individual customer
cost of compliance with the renewable energy resource requirements for the
applicable billing period.
(1)
The cost of compliance with the renewable energy
resource requirements shall be calculated as the sum of the following:
(a)
The customer's
usage in megawatt-hours for the applicable billing period, multiplied by the
statutory solar percentage requirement pursuant to division (B)(2) of section
4928.64 of the Revised Code for
the year in which the bill is issued, multiplied by the average of the Ohio
solar and other solar renewable energy credit (REC) costs for CRES providers as
reported in the commission's most recent compliance report provided to the
general assembly; and
(b)
The customer's usage in megawatt-hours for the
applicable billing period, multiplied by the statutory non-solar percentage
requirement pursuant to division (B)(2) of section
4928.64 of the Revised Code for
the year in which the bill is issued, multiplied by the average of the Ohio
non-solar and other non-solar REC costs for CRES providers as reported in the
commission's most recent compliance report provided to the general assembly.
The statutory non-solar requirement shall equal the total renewable requirement
net of the solar requirement.
(2)
In the event
that the commission's compliance report provided to the general assembly does
not include separate REC costs for Ohio and other resources, the CRES solar and
CRES non-solar REC costs as presented in the report should be inserted into the
