Energy Facilities Compliance Monitoring
Projects On-Line Before 1999
Projects that have been certified by the Energy Commission are monitored throughout construction, operation and closure to ensure that the owners comply with all conditions of certification. Additional post-certification compliance activities include processing amendments for changes to projects, handling complaints and processing requests to close projects.
