A.
				Renewable Energy Credits derived from Eligible Renewable Energy Resources
				installed after December 31, 2005, shall not be eligible for Extra Credit
				Multipliers.

				Renewable Energy Credits produced by the Eligible Renewable Energy Resource to
				determine the total Renewable Energy Credits that may be used to meet an
				Affected Utility's Annual Renewable Energy Requirement.
C. "Early Installation Extra Credit
				Multiplier." Affected Utilities acquiring Renewable Energy Credits from a Solar
				Electricity Resource, a Solar Water Heater, a Solar Space Cooling system, a
				Landfill Gas Generator, a Wind Generator, or a Biomass Electricity Generator
				that was installed and began operations between January 1, 2001, and December
				31, 2003, shall be eligible for an Early Installation Extra Credit Multiplier.
				Renewable Energy Credits derived from such facilities and acquired by Affected
				Utilities shall be eligible for five years following the facility's operational
				start-up. The multiplier shall vary according to the year in which the system
				began operating:
2001 .3
2002 .2

				Extra Credit Multiplier. The Renewable Energy Credits derived from such a
				facility and acquired by an Affected Utility shall be multiplied by .5 annually
				for the life of the facility. The extra Renewable Energy Credits resulting from
				the multiplier shall be added to the Renewable Energy Credits produced by the
				Eligible Renewable Energy Resource to determine the total Renewable Energy
				Credits that may be used to meet an Affected Utility's Annual Renewable Energy
				Requirement.

				solar performance.
