For each compliance period, verification results for each POU will be issued independently. The verification results are not a compliance determination. After the CEC adopts a POU’s verification results, it will determine if the POU complies with the RPS requirements for the compliance period, in accordance with the enforcement procedures for the RPS for POUs.
Prior to consideration at a business meeting, CEC staff will prepare a draft verification results report for review and comment. If adopted, a final verification results report will be prepared. All reports will be made available on this webpage. Once CEC staff has finalized a POU’s verification results report, the report will be made available on this webpage.
