Renewable Portfolio Standard 2005 Procurement Verification - Staff Draft Report

Publication Number:    CEC-300-2007-001-SD

Abstract:
This Renewables Portfolio Standard Verification Report (Verification Report) provides the California Energy Commission’s findings on the amount of renewable energy procured by select retail sellers of electricity under California’s Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS). This draft Verification Report covers the 2005 calendar year and includes electricity procurement data from 2001 through 2005, where applicable. This report verifies that all RPS procurement was generated by certified RPS-eligible facilities, determines to the extent possible that RPS-eligible energy procured by the IOUs was counted only once in California, estimates incremental geothermal procurement, reports the IOU’s progress towards their Annual Procurement Targets, and reports whether there is enough generation to validate the IOU’s procurement claims.
