A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to provide that, when the north carolina utility commission assigns triple credit to any electric power or renewable energy certificates generated from renewable energy resources at a biomass renewable energy facility located in a cleanfields renewable energy demonstration park, the additional credits are eligible to meet the requirements for public utilities, electric membership corporations, and municipalities under the renewable energy and energy efficiency portfolio standards (REPS) rather than requiring that these additional credits must first be used to meet all the REPS requirements through the use of poultry waste resources.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. Section 4 of S.L. 2010‑195 reads as rewritten:
"SECTION 4. Renewable energy generation. – The
definitions in G.S. 62‑133.8 apply to this act. If the Utilities
Commission determines that a biomass renewable energy facility located in the
cleanfields renewable energy demonstration park is a new renewable energy
facility, the Commission shall assign triple credit to any electric power or
renewable energy certificates generated from renewable energy resources at the
biomass renewable energy facility that are purchased by an electric power supplier
for the purposes of compliance with G.S. 62‑133.8. The additional
credits shall be eligible for use to meet the requirements of G.S. 62‑133.8(f).
The additional credits shall first be used to satisfy the requirements of G.S. 62‑133.8(f).
Only when the requirements of G.S. 62‑133.8(f) are met, shall the
additional credits be utilized to comply with G.S. 62‑133.8(b)
and (c). The triple credit shall apply only to the first 20 megawatts of
biomass renewable energy facility generation capacity located in all
cleanfields renewable energy demonstration parks in the State."
SECTION 2. This act is effective when it becomes law.
