Section 4 CCR 723-3-3666 - Rural Renewable Projects
(a) QRUs may take advantage of REC multiplier for rural renewable projects described in paragraph 3654(h) subject to the following restrictions.
(I) Interconnection must be completed and commercial operation achieved by December 31, 2014.
(II) For investor owned QRUs, rural renewable projects for which this REC multiplier is claimed may not be counted toward the distributed generation requirements in rule 3655.
(III) Any entity that owns or develops a rural renewable project that will take advantage of the aforementioned compliance multiplier, must notify the Commission on a Commission-provided form within 30 days after signing a power purchase agreement with a QRU and also within 30 days after beginning commercial operations. Such forms will minimally require the MW of nameplate electric capacity from installed rural renewable projects or the capacity that is subject to power purchase agreements, as applicable.
(IV) For QRUs that are not investor owned QRUs, the compliance multiplier may be applied only to the aggregate first 100 MW of nameplate capacity projects statewide that report having achieved commercial operation to the Commission.
(V) The Commission will maintain a publicly available listing of projects that have submitted notifications in accordance with subparagraph 3666(a)(III) and shall provide notice to the first 100 MW of projects that are providing energy and RECs to non-investor owned QRUs that they may take advantage of the compliance multiplier.
