To: The Honorable Mayor and Board of Commissioners From: Kathy Moyer, ElectriCities Electric Systems Manager Subject: Renewable Energy Credit Rider (RECR-1)
In 2010 the Town of Huntersville adopted Interconnection Standards as recommended by North Carolina Municipal Power Agency Number 1 for interconnecting small renewable and non-renewable energy generators to the electric grid. These standards were based on the North Carolina Utilities Commission’s modified version of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission small generation interconnection procedures, forms and agreements designed to streamline the process of connecting small renewable generator resources.
The Renewable Energy Credit Rider (RECR-1) was approved as part of the Interconnection Standards and is updated annually to reflect the current incentive provided to customers utilizing renewable generation. These credits would be effective with customer bills in the July 2016 billing cycle.
These charges enable the Town of Huntersville to safely interconnect and provide incentive for those customers that wish to install renewable generation. These charges may change in 2017 and subsequent years.
