Renewables Portfolio Standard Eligibility Guidebook - SECOND EDITION - Staff Draft

Publication Number:    CEC-300-2006-007-ED2SD

Abstract:
This Guidebook describes the requirements and process for certifying eligible renewable energy resources for California's Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) and supplemental energy payments (SEP). This Guidebook also describes how the Energy Commission will track and verify compliance with the RPS using an interim generation tracking process.

This Guidebook establishes efficient and effective processes to encourage participation in California's RPS and assure program credibility to benefit stakeholders, regulators, and consumers. Although this Guidebook addresses the Energy Commission's role in implementing the RPS, the Energy Commission recognizes that the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) also has a key RPS implementation role.

Guidebook adopted at CEC April 26, 2006, Business Meeting.
