25-17.260. Subscription Limits

There shall be no preset subscription limits for the purchase of capacity and energy from renewable generating facilities. To the extent that the purchase of capacity and energy from a renewable generating facility is not needed for reliability or will increase costs to the general body of ratepayers above full avoided cost, the utility shall petition the Commission for relief. In any such proceeding, the Commission shall determine the need for power and the utility’s full avoided cost, including strategic benefits such as fuel diversity and energy security, that are in the best interests of the general body of ratepayers.
