810 R.I. Code R. 810-RICR-40-10-2.1
By July 1, 1997, nonregulated power producers will be allowed to sell to or aggregate electricity for eligible Rhode Island customers. These regulations, enacted pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws 1956 (1988 Reenactment) §39-1-27.1 and the general regulatory authority conferred by Title 39, are intended to ensure that nonregulated power producers meet the operating and reliability standards of the New England Power Pool or any successor entity. In addition, it is necessary for each electric distribution company within the state to develop and propose a set of nondiscriminatory billing, accounting, metering, and settlement procedures that will allow for the implementation of retail competition in a reliable manner.
