Topics for Todays RPS Workshop Methods to Encourage Specific Renewables Methods to Encourage Compliance Compliance Verification and Tracking Presentation to the: FPSC Staff Workshop on a Renewable Portfolio Standard December 6, 2007 Judy Harlow Division of Economic Regulation Florida Public Service Commission

2 Focus of Todays Workshop Methods to encourage specific renewables Compliance - Methods to encourage compliance - Verification and tracking Stakeholder straw man RPS proposals

3 What, if any, policies are needed to encourage specific types of renewables? Which resources should be eligible? - specific renewables, such as solar and wind - distributed generation - specific vintages, such as new facilities What approach - multipliers or tiered goals? Issues under a multiplier approach: - How should a multiplier be set? - Will using a multiplier conflict with reaching the goal? Issues under a tiered goal (set asides) approach: - How should the tiers be determined? - Can excess compliance in policy preferred tier be used to meet goals in other tiers?

4 What financial compliance mechanisms are needed? - ratepayer protection mechanisms – alternative compliance payments (ACPs), rate caps, REC price caps - penalties - utilities and/or renewable generators How should financial compliance mechanisms be set? - multiple of REC price, $/MWh, or absolute value? Cost recovery for IOUs: - How should compliance costs for RECs or renewables be recovered? - Should ACPs or penalties be recovered? - How should funds be used? Are financial incentives beyond ACP/penalties needed? What policies are needed to encourage compliance?

5 REC tracking and verification issues: - How are eligible facilities certified and audited? - Who administers the REC system? - How is double counting prevented? - How should multi-fuel facilities be treated? - Should line losses be considered? Self-service generation issues: - Is metering required? - How can small systems be included? - Should total energy generated be counted, or excess to grid? How should compliance be tracked and verified?

6 Energy efficiency issues: - Should energy efficiency count towards goals? - If so, how should savings be estimated? - Should existing programs be included? What is the role of the PSC in ensuring compliance? Possible roles: - implementing policy regulations - certifying eligible generators - managing a REC system - verifying utility compliance - administering financial incentives/penalties - ratemaking – cost recovery Compliance Verification and Tracking
