Wind – Solar – Post-Approval Requirements
In this bulletin, the AUC stated that it is considering enacting a rule establishing standard post-approval monitoring requirements for wind and solar power plants. Although these requirements would apply to all such projects approved by the AUC, the AUC would retain the discretion to supplement, omit, or modify these requirements on a case-by-case basis in a decision report. In the AUC’s view, the establishment of standard post-approval monitoring requirements would improve consistency of monitoring obligations for approved wind and solar power plants and would add certainty to the regulatory process.
The AUC invited stakeholders to provide written feedback, comments, and suggestions on standardizing post-approval monitoring requirements by January 28, 2019.
