§ 8006. Tradeable credits; environmental attributes; recognition, monitoring, and disclosure

• (a) The Commission shall establish or adopt a system of tradeable renewable energy credits
  for renewable resources that may be earned by electric generation qualifying for the
  RES. The system shall recognize tradeable renewable energy credits monitored and traded
  on the New England Generation Information System (GIS); shall provide a process for
  the recognition, approval, and monitoring of environmental attributes attached to
  renewable energy that are eligible to satisfy the requirements of sections 8004 and 8005 of this title but are not monitored and traded on the GIS; and shall otherwise be consistent with
  regional practices. (b) The Commission shall ensure that all electricity provider and provider-affiliate disclosures
  and representations made with regard to a provider’s portfolio are accurate and reasonably
  supported by objective data. Further, the Commission shall ensure that providers disclose
  the types of generation used and shall clearly distinguish between energy or tradeable
  energy credits provided from renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and existing
  and new renewable energy. (Added 2005, No. 61, § 4; amended 2011, No. 47, § 18; 2015, No. 56, § 7.)
