retail customers in this State are accounted for by renewable | | resources. By January 1, 1999, the commission shall provisionally | | adopt rules establishing reasonable procedures for implementing | | this requirement. Rules adopted under this subsection are major | | substantive rules pursuant to Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter II- | | A. |
|
| | | This bill amends the electric industry restructuring law with | | respect to the renewable portfolio requirement for competitive | | providers. |
|
| | | Current law requires each provider to have 30% of its | | portfolio of supply sources for retail electricity sales in this | | State accounted for by renewable resources. The law defines | | renewable resources to be those resources that can be delivered | | into the New England Power Pool. |
|
| | | This bill changes the definition of renewable resources to | | require that the electricity generated be deliverable to Maine | | consumers. It also changes the 30% portfolio standard to a | | requirement that 30% of a provider's kilowatt-hours sales to | | retail customers in this State be accounted for by renewable | | resources. |
