Section 16-245a-2 - Registration of renewable energy electric generating units(a)Units located within New England. The department shall issue registration numbers to electric generation units eligible as Class I or Class II renewable energy sources that have submitted a registration application to the NEPOOL GIS. Such renewable energy electric units shall apply for registration on a form prescribed by the department.(b)Facilities located outside New England. The department shall issue registration numbers to electric generation units eligible as Class I or Class II renewable energy sources located outside NEPOOL as permitted by section 16-245a(a)(2) of the Connecticut General Statutes. Such renewable energy electric generation units shall apply for registration on a form prescribed by the department.(c)Facilities subject to emissions limitations. Each electric generation unit subject to the average nitrogen oxide rate restrictions contained in the definitions of Class I and Class II renewable energy sources shall file with the department within forty-five (45) days of the end of each calendar quarter an affidavit attesting to the unit's average nitrogen oxide emission rate per million BTU of heat input for such quarter. Upon receipt of such information, the department shall notify the applicable generation information system administrator of such unit's eligibility for trading as a renewable energy resource in Connecticut. Failure to file such affidavit may result in the revocation of the renewable energy unit's registration number, rendering energy generated by the unit ineligible for trading as a renewable energy resource in Connecticut.(d)Audits.

Any person that objects to the department's classification of an electric generating unit pursuant to this section may request a declaratory ruling from the Department of Public Utility Control pursuant to section 4-176 of the Connecticut General Statutes as to the electric generating unit's eligibility as a Class I or Class II renewable energy source.(f)Notification of changed information. If any of the information provided in a registration application submitted pursuant to this section changes, the department shall be notified of any such changes within 10 days.
