PURA Initiates Renewable Energy Proceeding
PURA has opened this proceeding to conduct a study regarding the state’s renewable energy tariff programs, such as RRES and NRES.
Requests to participate in the proceeding are due by March 21, 2025.
Upon receipt and review of comments PURA will submit the results of the study, including any recommendations to the General Assembly, by January 15, 2026.
Among other things, the study will examine: (1) whether to extend such programs beyond the procurement years authorized; (2) potential processes that can be adopted to avoid stranded projects; (3) potential successor programs; (4) an examination of potential programs that do not incorporate any MW cap; (5) consideration of different possible criteria and procedures for choosing projects, such as choosing projects by lottery or on a first-come, first-served basis; and (6) an identification of alternative bidding frameworks, such as awarding solicitations based on which projects can be deployed soonest.
