RPS Renewable Facility Certification
The Wisconsin Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), Wisconsin Statute § 196.378, gives Wisconsin electric providers the option of using Renewable Resource Credits (RRCs) to satisfy their RPS requirements. Rules governing the creation and use of RRCs were promulgated by the PSC and are available in Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter PSC 118 at the Revisor of Statutes web page. Only a Wisconsin electric provider may create an RRC. A Wisconsin electric provider
Wisconsin electric providers must obtain renewable certification of any facility which it plans to use to satisfy the Renewable Portfolio Standard or create RRCs. The facility may be owned and operated by the electric provider or an independent power producer, and must meet the eligibility requirements in the RPS statute. A certification request must be completed by a Wisconsin electric provider. A renewable certification request filed by an independent power producer will not receive PSC certification. The first step in obtaining certification for a renewable facility is for the electric provider (investor-owned utility, municipal utility, or rural electric cooperative) to complete the Renewable Facility Registration Report. To file the report electronically, enter information required in each field, follow the step-by-step instructions given and click on "Create Renewable Facility Registration Report" at the bottom of the page. The completed Renewable Facility Registration Report must be filed using the PSC Electronic Regulatory Filing (ERF) System. Once the Commission has determined whether or not the facility meets the established criteria for certification the electric provider will be notified.
