SUMMARY

This bill amends the energy portfolio requirements of the electric restructuring law.

Under current law, renewable resources that qualify under the portfolio requirement include any facility that qualifies as a small power production facility under the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rules and generators of less than 100 megawatts that rely on renewable resources. The bill removes the 100 megawatt limitation.

Under current law, 30% of a competitive electricity provider's portfolio of supply sources for retail electricity sales in this State must be accounted for by eligible resources, as defined by the law. This bill reduces this percentage to 20%.
