Section 704.8877 - Calculations concerning compliance with portfolio standard: Submission of information; estimates; effect of equaling or exceeding estimates1. Not later than April 15 of each compliance year, each provider to which the provisions of NRS 704.7825 apply shall submit to the Regulatory Operations Staff and the Bureau of Consumer Protection: (a) The total number of kilowatt-hours sold by the provider to its retail customers in this State during the most recently completed compliance year.(b) The estimated number of kilowatt-hours that the provider expects to sell to its retail customers in this State during the current compliance year.(c) The estimated number of kilowatt-hours that the provider must generate, acquire or save from portfolio energy systems or efficiency measures to comply with its portfolio standard for the current compliance year, as calculated by the provider pursuant to subsection 2.2. To calculate the estimated number of kilowatt-hours that the provider must generate, acquire or save from portfolio energy systems or efficiency measures to comply with its portfolio standard for the current compliance year, the provider must multiply the estimated number of kilowatt-hours that the provider expects to sell to its retail customers in this State during the current compliance year by the required percentage that is set forth pursuant to NRS 704.7821 or 704.78213, as applicable, for the current compliance year. Any kilowatt-hours sold as a result of customer participation in a voluntary option to purchase all or a portion of the customer's energy from renewable resources must be excluded from the calculations performed pursuant to this subsection.3. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 704.7828, if the total number of kilowatt-hours that the provider generates, acquires or saves from portfolio energy systems or efficiency measures for the current compliance year is equal to or exceeds the estimated number of kilowatt-hours as calculated by the provider pursuant to subsection 2, the Commission will not impose an administrative fine or take other administrative action against the provider for that compliance year.Nev.
