Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance:
This bill would create a self-direct program for data center customers and would exclude them from the large customer self-direct program. Participants would be eligible to offset some or all of the charges collected for the procurement of renewable energy resources by securing supply through collocating or entering into power purchase agreements (PPAs) of at least 10 years with eligible generating facilities. Bundled PPAs, with some combination of energy, capacity, and RECs, would be eligible, but REC-only contracts would require demonstration that the instrument facilitated the facility’s development to be eligible. The bill would explicitly permit eligible contracts to involve alternative retail electric suppliers. The rate by which the customer’s RPS charges would be reduced would be the simple average of the self-supplied energy percentage and the self-supplied capacity percentage. RECs retired through the self-direct program would only reduce the total volume of RECs the IPA is required to procure for a year by up to the percentage of renewable energy resources applicable to each utility’s load for that year.
