Rulemaking related to renewable energy percentage verification
The Utilities Commission hereby rescinds Chapter 30, “Renewable Energy Percentage Verification,” Iowa Administrative Code.
Legal Authority for Rulemaking
This rulemaking is adopted under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 476.2.
State or Federal Law Implemented
This rulemaking implements, in whole or in part, Iowa Code section 476.44A.
Purpose and Summary
The purpose of this rulemaking is to comply with Executive Order 10. Chapter 30 originally contained the Commission’s rules that established the renewable energy percentage verification procedure. The Commission is rescinding the chapter because the procedure contained in the chapter was voluntary and because the information obtained by the Commission under that procedure can be received through other means.
The Commission issued an order on October 17, 2024, approving the rescission of Chapter 30. The order is available on the Commission’s electronic filing system, efs.iowa.gov, under RMU-2023-0030.
