The Program contains two offerings: 1) The Clean Energy Your Way— Flexible for Customers and non-customers wishing to procure RECs from existing resources which may or may not be on Idaho Power's system; and 2) the Clean Energy Your Way — Construction option for Customers interested in new renewable energy resources. DEFINITIONS Excess Generation is calculated on an hourly basis and represents the REF energy delivered to Idaho Power's system that exceeds the REF On-Site Usage. Net Consumption is calculated on an hourly basis and represents the Customer(s) metered kWh usage less the line loss-adjusted REF energy delivered to Idaho Power's system. The Net Consumption cannot be less than zero. Renewable Construction Agreement will be the contractual agreement developed between Idaho Power and a Customer(s) governing the terms, conditions, and pricing of a Clean Energy Your Way — Construction arrangement. Renewable Energy Certificate (RECs) will be from renewable projects registered within a renewable energy certificate tracking system or as defined by the Center for Resource Solutions Green-e Energy standard. Idaho Power will continue to prioritize the procurement of RECs from Idaho Power's service area or surrounding states. Renewable Energy Facilities (REFs) are resources fueled by solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, or hydropower. REFs must be located within Idaho Power's service area or connected to Idaho Power's transmission system and represent new facilities (i.e. facilities not previously constructed). A Seller's Generation Facility (as defined by Schedule 72) is ineligible to be selected as a REF. REF Cost will reflect the cost of the resource interconnected to Idaho Power's system and procured on behalf of the participating Customer(s). REF Credit will reflect the benefit of the REF to Idaho Power's system, subject to Commission approval.
