Kan. Admin. Regs. § 82-16-6 - Renewable energy credit program
(a)
Renewable energy credits shall be issued and used as part of a REC program
either established or approved by the commission. Each application for approval
of any program not approved by the commission in any prior year shall be
submitted on or before January 1 of the calendar year in which the RECs are
proposed to be included in the portfolio.
(b) Any utility may purchase or sell RECs
without commission approval. However, each renewable energy credit shall be
counted only once. A REC or any attributes associated with renewable energy
generation sold or intended for any purpose other than attainment of the
renewable energy goal shall not be applied toward attainment of the renewable
energy goal.
(c) For the purpose of
RESA, unused RECs shall remain valid for up to two years from the end of the
calendar year in which the associated electricity was generated and shall be
permanently retired when used for attainment of the renewable energy goal
prescribed by the act. To the extent that RECs or attributes associated with
renewable energy generation are sold or used for any purpose other than
attainment of the renewable energy goal, the utilities shall reduce the
capacity used for attainment of the renewable energy goal according to the
formula specified in this subsection.
Total Renewable Capacity for Voluntary Attainment = TRC-Cop where

TRC = total renewable capacity
COP = renewable capacity sold or used for any other purpose than attainment of the renewable energy goal
EOP = energy from RECs or renewable energy attributes sold or used for any other purpose than attainment of the renewable energy goal
CF = capacity factor for source of EOP
(d) Each REC created, sold, or purchased by
any Kansas utility shall be reported in an approved registry that documents and
verifies attributes and other compliance conditions as well as tracks the
creation, sale, retirement, and other transactions regarding the REC to prevent
double counting and misuse, in accordance with these regulations and commission
direction.
