                    4 Generation from a co-firing facility is counted in proportion to the renewable  fuel used in the facility.
                    5 Hydroelectric dams entering starting in 2001 are eligible.  This includes new generation capacity at  existing non-electric dams and certain improvements to existing hydroelectric  dams.
                    6 The  Secretary of Energy is required to review the credit multiplier in 4-year  increments and adjust it to ensure that distributed energy resources only get  enough of a credit to ensure competitiveness with other renewable resources.  The credit multiplier cannot exceed three,  nor fall below one.
