Summary

ORCP-RGC-2021-001:

RESA Rule Change Proposal: RESA representation in RGC

 

In the existing draft of the REM Rules, there is only one representative for both REM Generators and RES. This proposal intends to add a representative for RES separate from REM generators in the RGC.

 

This proposed rule change seeks to include Retail Electricity Suppliers (RES) as a separate member of the REM Governance Committee (RGC).

ORCP-RGC-2021-002:

RESA Rule Change Proposal: Qualifying RPS Eligible Generation

These proposed changes seek to revise certain rules on the issuance and distribution of RECs with respect to RE generators, particularly Sections 2.1.2 and 3.1 of the REM Rules as follows:

a. RE generators should be allowed to register their RPS eligible generation in the REM, since there are RE generators that are partially RPS eligible, and only RPS eligible generation should be registered in the REM; and

b. In the case of merchant eligible RE generators, the RECs corresponding to the energy dispatched should also be distributed proportionately to WESM off-takers, such as the RES and DUs.

ORCP-RGC-2021-003:
