The Public Utility Commission issued this order waiving a procedural rule to allow applicants to file up until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, June 30, 2019, without being subject to the new Application Fee for In-State Generation Facilities.
The report submitted by the Vermont Public Utility Commission to the Senate and House Committees on Transportation, the Senate Committee on Finance, the Senate Committee on Natural Resources & Energy, and the House Committee on Energy & Technology.
This report submitted to the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Energy, and the House Committee on Energy and Technology as required by Act 53 of 2017,discusses the exemption and makes recommendations about how to address any issues arising from the exemption. The Commission has identified two significant concerns arising from the exemption. First, Section 8005a allows utilities to be exempt from the standard-offer program “regardless of whether the provider owned the energy's environmental attributes.” The second issue is that exemptions shift the cost of the standard-offer program from the customers of the exempt utility to customers of the participating utilities.
