Section 810-RICR-40-05-3.4 - Disclosure RequirementsA. The Energy source disclosure shall be written in "plain English" and shall indicate what sources of energy were used to generate electricity for each Electrical energy product, expressed as a percentage of the total amount of energy used towards each Electrical energy product. Obligated entities shall use the energy fuel source disclosure categories as provided by the NE-GIS. The Energy source disclosure shall show the percentages of energy obtained from each of the Eligible renewable energy resources, as well as the percentage energy obtained from nuclear plants, natural gas, oil (which may include any fossil fuel), hydroelectric plants that are not Eligible renewable energy resources, coal, and any other energy source reported by the NE-GIS. The Energy source disclosure shall also indicate the emissions created as a result of generating said electricity as provided by the NE-GIS in pounds per MWH. Such emissions shall also be presented as a percentage of the New England regional average, as provided by the NE-GIS for the same time period. All percentages shall be calculated to the nearest one-tenth of a percent.B. Energy source disclosures shall be distributed to consumers on a quarterly basis covering the most recent one-year period, including the most recent quarter for which NE-GIS data has been finalized. For the first year of disclosure under these regulations, Obligated entities may phase in the quarterly information rather than providing the most recent one-year period.C. The Obligated entities shall be allowed to recover in the retail rate of the Electrical energy product all incremental costs associated with preparation and distribution of the disclosure label.D. NE-GIS certificates shall be used for the calculation of the Energy source disclosure.E. In accordance with R.I. Gen. Laws § 39-26-9(e), the Energy source disclosure presented to any particular End-use customer shall take into consideration and account for voluntary purchases of Generation attributes or related products, including purchases made by the End-use customer from providers other than the Obligated entity, even if the End-use customer is billed by the Obligated entity and also served by that Obligated Entity's Electrical energy product. To that end, each supplier of renewable energy directly to an end-user including those suppliers in the Green-Up Program, its successor, or any similar program approved by the Commission shall provide an Energy source disclosure directly to that customer. The Electric distribution company shall not provide an Energy source disclosure to any customer receiving standard offer service or last resort service who is also enrolled in the Green-Up Program, its successor, or any similar program that has been approved by the Commission.810 R.I.
