Regulation Authority:
Formerly under RIGL §39-26-2, subsequently amended
Purpose and Reason:
The rule is no longer applicable. In 2008, the State of Rhode Island enacted an amendment to Rhode Island General Laws, Chapter 39-26, entitled “Renewable Energy Standard,” specifically, Section 39-26-2(19), requiring the Rhode Island Division of Public Utilities and Carriers to promulgate regulations setting forth an application process and eligibility criteria for “non-profit affordable housing” developments or projects to benefit from the allotted renewable energy demonstration projects constructed and placed into service under Rhode Island General Laws, Section 39-26-6(k), and the additional consequential ability to apply excess renewable generation credits to other accounts within the eligible affordable housing development or project in accordance with Rhode Island General Laws, Section 39-26-6(g)(3). The statutory provisions were subsequently amended, making the rule obsolete.
