Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 38, September 21, 2024
(a)
EDCs and EGSs shall comply with the act through the acquisition of certified
alternative energy credits, each of which shall represent one MWh of qualified
alternative electric generation or conservation, whether self-generated,
purchased along with the electric commodity or separately through a tradable
instrument.
(b) For each reporting
period, EDCs and EGSs shall acquire alternative energy credits in quantities
equal to a percentage of their total retail sales of electricity to all retail
electric customers for that reporting period, as measured in MWh. The credit
obligation for a reporting period shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.
The required quantities of alternative energy credits for each reporting period
are identified in the following schedule, subject to the quarterly adjustment
