Section 75.71 - Quarterly adjustment of nonsolar Tier I obligation

(a) The Tier I nonsolar photovoltaic obligation of EDCs and EGSs shall be adjusted quarterly during the reporting period to comply with 66 Pa.C.S. § 2814(c) (relating to additional alternative energy sources).

(b) The quarterly requirement will be determined as follows:

(1) The nonsolar photovoltaic Tier I quarterly percentage increase equals the ratio of the available new Tier I MWh generation to total quarterly EDC and EGS MWh retail sales (new Tier I MWh generation/EDC and EGS MWh retail sales = nonsolar pv Tier I % increase).

(2) The new quarterly nonsolar photovoltaic Tier I requirement equals the sum of the new nonsolar photovoltaic Tier I percentage increase and the annual nonsolar photovoltaic Tier I percentage requirement in § 75.61(b) (relating to EDC and EGS obligations) (nonsolar photovoltaic Tier I % increase + annual nonsolar photovoltaic Tier I % = new quarterly nonsolar photovoltaic Tier I % requirement).

(3) An EDC's or EGS's quarterly MWh retail sales multiplied by the new quarterly nonsolar photovoltaic Tier I requirement (EDC and EGS quarterly MWh x new quarterly nonsolar photovoltaic Tier I % = EDCs' and EGSs' quarterly nonsolar photovoltaic Tier I requirement) yields the quantity of alternative energy credits required by that EDC or EGS for compliance. The EDC and EGS final total annual compliance obligations shall be determined by the program administrator at the end of the compliance year in accordance with § 75.64(c) (relating to alternative energy credit program administrator).

(c) Alternative energy systems qualified consistent with 66 Pa.C.S. 2814(a) and (b) shall grant the program administrator access to their credit registry account information as a condition of certification of any alternative energy credits created under these sections.
