Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 28, July 11, 2024
(a)
			 Any utility may attain the renewable energy goal in K.S.A. 661256, and
			 amendments thereto, by maintaining a portfolio of renewable capacity from
			 generation, purchased energy, RECs, or net metering systems.
(b) Each utility planning to seek commission
			 approval for recovery of reasonable costs incurred under RESA and either
			 related to the previous mandatory requirement or due to attaining the renewable
			 energy goal, pursuant to
			 K.S.A.
			 66-1259 and amendments thereto, shall submit
			 a report to the commission detailing that utility's efforts related to
			 attainment of the renewable energy goal. A generation and transmission
			 cooperative may submit a collective report on behalf of the electric
			 distribution cooperatives it represents. If this collective report is
			 submitted, the electric distribution cooperatives shall not be required to file
			 their own reports as required by this subsection. The report shall specify the
			 renewable generation that has been put into service or the portion of the
			 utility's portfolio of renewable generation resources served from purchased
			 energy, RECs, or net metering systems on or before December 31 of each data
			 year. An annual report shall be due on or before March 31 of each year. Each
			 report shall contain the following information:
(1) A description of each type of renewable
			 energy resource that was purchased or put into service on or before December 31
			 of the data year, including type, location, owner, operator, date of
			 commencement of operations, nameplate capacity, and for the data year, the
			 monthly capacity factor, monthly availability factor, and monthly and annual
			 amounts of energy generated;
(2) a
			 narrative supporting the rationale for selecting each capacity resource that
			 was purchased or put into service and each purchased power contract that was
			 executed during the data year;
(3)
			 a description of the utility's plans for attaining the renewable energy goal
			 for the current calendar year, including the utility's assessment of the
			 expected impact to revenue requirements;
(4) the Kansas retail one-hour peak demand
			 for each of the three calendar years before the data year and the average for
			 these three years, with supporting data and calculations if the demand differs
			 from the information reported on the federal energy regulatory commission's
			 FERC form 1. Each electric distribution cooperative that does not file FERC
			 form 1 with the commission shall file a Kansas electric cooperative utility
			 annual report with the commission;
(5) the amount of renewable energy capacity
			 that will qualify as a portion of the year's peak demand as calculated pursuant
			 to paragraph (b)(4), broken down by capacity from generation, purchased energy,
			 RECs, and net metering systems;
(6)
			 the renewable energy capacity identified in paragraph (b)(5) from a facility
			 constructed in Kansas after January 1, 2000; and
(7) total retail energy sales, as measured in
			 kilowatt-hours (kWh), in Kansas for the data year.
