## RPS Compliance Summary Data

**GENERAL NOTES** (1) Thissummaryis intended to serve as a living document. All data are provisional and are subject to change as new or better informationbecomesavailable. Cells marked as "no data" indicate that RPS compliance data for that year are not yet available.**I f apparent** **errors are discovered, please contact LBNL (see contact information above).** (2)**RPS Obligations (MWh)**represent, unless otherwiseindicated,the total RPS requirementfor all applicable entities and across all RPS resource tiers, inclusive ofsolar and distributed generation set

asides

. (3)**RPS Achievement (% of RPS Obligations)** represents the sum total, across all applicable entities, of the amount of renewable energy generation or number of renewable energy certificates(RECs)* applied towards each entity's compliance obligation in the given compliance year, divided by the RPS Obligations. These valuesdo not represent RPS compliance, per se, as each state may define “compliance”differently. Instead, these values are intended to present comparable information across all states. As such,a number of standard conventionsare used. Specifically, the percentages: (a) reflect the application of any available credit multipliers, (b) include previously banked RECs retired within each compliance year, (c) do not include alternative compliancepayments (ACPs), (d) do not include borrowed RECs or deferred obligations until such time as the borrowed RECs are repaid or the deferred obligations are fulfilled, and (e) do not include RECs purchased or retired in excess of any individual entity's compliance requirement, although RECs banked in any individual year are counted in subsequent years if applied towards those years' compliance obligations. Values of "n/a" are shown for years in which compliance obligations did not exist. (4) For states with compliance years that begin in the middle of each calendar year (i.e., DE, IL, NJ, and PA), compliance yearsare mapped to the table based on thestart dateof each compliance year (e.g., a compliance year beginning June 1, 2010 is identified in the table as the "2010" compliance year). This may differ from the convention used in specificstates.
* Renewable energy certificates (RECs), also sometimesreferred to as a "TradableGreen Certificates" or "Green Tags", are created when one megawatt

-hour of renewable energy is generated, are a purely financial product, and can be traded separately from the underlying electricitygeneration. In many states, retail electricitysuppliers are allowed to demonstratecompliance with the RPS by purchasing RECs in lieu of directly purchasing renewable electricity.
