Docket No. E-100 Sub 90
Advanced Energy NC GreenPower Program Plan Page 10 of 10
The process by which CRS required the program to be accredited was as follows. A North
Carolina stakeholders’ group was established and encouraged to participate in a series of
accreditation meetings to determine the criteria (based on CRS’s model) by which NCGP is to
be guided. Once the stakeholders’ group determined the criteria they would like to see in
North Carolina, they submitted it to CRS. Once submitted, the CRS staff reviewed the criteria
and recommended the NC criteria to the CRS Governing Board for approval. The CRS
Governing Board has approved the criteria pending minor word changes. Additional
monitoring, reviewing and verification processes will follow as NCGP proceeds.
NCGP will seek certification of all of its resources from ERT because it isn’t known whether
the producer's energy will be used in the mass-market or the high volume product when the
producers are signing agreements.
Disclosure
It is imperative that the public be regularly informed of the progress of the program to
reassure them that their participation in the program is making a positive difference in North
Carolina. The utilities have stated that they would be willing to provide informational bill
inserts and direct links from their web pages to a specific green power program site giving
statewide generation mix of all utilities combined.
Results Assessment
The program will be formally reviewed after two years and the following items assessed:
Mass-market Large Volume
Revenue Revenue
Blocks or kWh sold Blocks or kWh sold
Number of Participants Number of Participants
Direct Contributions/Donations Direct Contributions/Donations
Governmental Issues
No legislation would be required for implementation, but Public Utilities Commission
approval is necessary. The program administrator will make annual reports to the
Commission. NCGP will apply for a non-profit 501(c)(3) status.
NC GreenPower will not be in conflict with state, federal, and local regulations. NCGP is not
intended to serve as a regulatory body.
