Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) EDCs
					 and EGSs shall comply with the act through the acquisition of certified
					 alternative energy credits, each of which shall represent one MWh of qualified
					 alternative electric generation or conservation, whether self-generated,
					 purchased along with the electric commodity or separately through a tradable
					 instrument.
(b) For each reporting
					 period, EDCs and EGSs shall acquire alternative energy credits in quantities
					 equal to a percentage of their total retail sales of electricity to all retail
					 electric customers for that reporting period, as measured in MWh. The credit
					 obligation for a reporting period shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.
					 The required quantities of alternative energy credits for each reporting period
					 are identified in the following schedule, subject to the quarterly adjustment
					 of the nonsolar Tier I obligation under §
