H.B. 92 Renewable energy certificates; tariff filed by cooperative for electric energy.

Patron: Kilgore

Electric cooperatives; renewable energy certificates.  Provides that an electric cooperative is deemed to offer an approved tariff for electric energy provided 100 percent from renewable energy if it bundles its electricity with renewable energy certificates. Currently, an individual retail electricity customer may purchase electric energy provided 100 percent from renewable energy from any licensed competitive supplier of electricity if the customer's incumbent electric utility does not offer electricity provided 100 percent from renewable energy. A renewable energy certificate is a tradable commodity issued by a regional transmission entity, including its affiliate or successor, that validates the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources.

A BILL to amend and reenact §§ 56-576 and 56-577 of the Code of Virginia, relating to tariffs for electric service from renewable energy.
