Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan Sample Clauses

Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan. Today, only 12 percent of California’s retail electric load is served by renewable energy sources. The RPS, established by State law, requires all retail energy sellers to obtain 20 percent of their delivered electricity from renewable energy sources by 2010. In November 2008, the Governor of California increased the RPS target to 33 percent by 2020, through Executive Order S-14-08. In addition to the California effort, in 2005 the federal Energy Security Policy Act renewed interest in developing utility-scale renewable energy facilities on federal public land. It established a target of approving 10,000 MW of non-hydropower renewable energy generation on public lands within 10 years of the Act. The United States Congress also intensified the need for accelerated development of such projects with passage in early 2009 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which confers economic benefits on renewable energy projects that begin construction before the end of 2010. While the State and federal governments are committed to developing compatible renewable energy generation facilities and related transmission infrastructure to achieve these requirements and goals, they are also committed to conserving biological and natural resources within the state. The desert regions of California provide extensive renewable energy resource potential. They also support extraordinary biological and other natural resources of great value, including numerous threatened and endangered plant and animal species. The DRECP is intended to advance state and federal conservation goals in these desert regions while also facilitating the timely permitting of renewable energy projects under applicable State and federal laws. Executive Order S-14-08 and associated Memoranda of Understanding by and among several State and federal agencies established the joint State-federal REAT, which consists of the Parties to this Planning Agreement. The USFWS and BLM are voluntary participants in the REAT. Federal participation in the REAT is supported by the Secretary of the Interior’s Secretarial Order 3285 (March 2009) directing all Department of the Interior agencies and departments (which include the BLM and USFWS) to encourage the timely and responsible development of renewable energy, while protecting and enhancing the nation’s water, wildlife, and other natural resources. In October 2009, Governor Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and Secretary Xxxxxxx signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Renewable Ener...

  • Energy Conservation The Contractor agrees to comply with mandatory standards and policies relating to energy efficiency which are contained in the state energy conservation plan issued in compliance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act.

  • Natural Resources Protecting America’s great outdoors and natural resources.

  • Electric Storage Resources Developer interconnecting an electric storage resource shall establish an operating range in Appendix C of its LGIA that specifies a minimum state of charge and a maximum state of charge between which the electric storage resource will be required to provide primary frequency response consistent with the conditions set forth in Articles 9.5.5, 9.5.5.1, 9.5.5.2, and 9.5.5.3 of this Agreement. Appendix C shall specify whether the operating range is static or dynamic, and shall consider (1) the expected magnitude of frequency deviations in the interconnection; (2) the expected duration that system frequency will remain outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (3) the expected incidence of frequency deviations outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (4) the physical capabilities of the electric storage resource; (5) operational limitations of the electric storage resources due to manufacturer specification; and (6) any other relevant factors agreed to by the NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner, and Developer. If the operating range is dynamic, then Appendix C must establish how frequently the operating range will be reevaluated and the factors that may be considered during its reevaluation. Developer’s electric storage resource is required to provide timely and sustained primary frequency response consistent with Article 9.5.5.2 of this Agreement when it is online and dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. This excludes circumstances when the electric storage resource is not dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or dispatched to receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. If Developer’s electric storage resource is charging at the time of a frequency deviation outside of its deadband parameter, it is to increase (for over-frequency deviations) or decrease (for under-frequency deviations) the rate at which it is charging in accordance with its droop parameter. Developer’s electric storage resource is not required to change from charging to discharging, or vice versa, unless the response necessitated by the droop and deadband settings requires it to do so and it is technically capable of making such a transition.

  • Renewable Energy Credits 5.01. Customer shall offer PMPA and/or Utility a first right of refusal before selling or granting to any third party the right to the Green Attributes associated with its customer-owned renewable generation that is interconnected to Utility’s electric distribution system. The term Green Attributes shall include any and all credits, certificates, benefits, environmental attributes, emissions reductions, offsets, and allowances, however entitled, attributable to the generation of electricity from the customer owned-renewable generation and its displacement of conventional energy generation.

  • ENERGY CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS The Contractor agrees to comply with mandatory standards and policies relating to energy efficiency which are contained in the state energy conservation plan issued in compliance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act.
