-
§ 8006. Tradeable credits; environmental attributes; recognition, monitoring, and disclosure
(a) The Commission shall establish or adopt a system of tradeable renewable energy credits
for renewable resources that may be earned by electric generation qualifying for the
RES. The system shall recognize tradeable renewable energy credits monitored and traded
on the New England Generation Information System (GIS); shall provide a process for
the recognition, approval, and monitoring of environmental attributes attached to
renewable energy that are eligible to satisfy the requirements of sections 8004 and 8005 of this title but are not monitored and traded on the GIS; and shall otherwise be consistent with
regional practices.
(b) The Commission shall ensure that all electricity provider and provider-affiliate disclosures
and representations made with regard to a provider’s portfolio are accurate and reasonably
supported by objective data. Further, the Commission shall ensure that providers disclose
the types of generation used and shall clearly distinguish between energy or tradeable
energy credits provided from renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and existing
and new renewable energy. (Added 2005, No. 61, § 4; amended 2011, No. 47, § 18; 2015, No. 56, § 7.)
