This Bill is designed to clarify certain issues that have arisen in the administration of 354(i) and (j) of Delaware’s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards Act (“REPSA”), which were added to REPSA in 2010. The Bill resolves those issues and makes clear the intent of the Delaware General Assembly that purchases shall be frozen if the statutory thresholds are reached, and that any such freeze shall be lifted if the cost of the compliance with the REPSA can reasonably be expected to be under the statutory thresholds. The Bill also clarifies the items that the Commission is to consider in calculating the cost of complying with the REPSA and the total retail cost of electricity for purposes of determining whether a freeze is required.

An Act To Amend Title 26 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards.
