  • Requires, for purposes of any taxes or fees levied pursuant to fuel mix disclosure reports, a retail electric supplier and the Department of Commerce (Department) to identify a renewable resource according to the listed fuel mix categories, regardless of whether or not the nonpower attributes of the resource have been unbundled from the generation resource.
  • Directs the Department to convene a work group to suggest modifications to the process of gathering, reporting, calculating, and tracking fuel mix data, including the methods and inputs for calculating the fuel mix for unspecified sources, by July 1, 2016.
  • Directs the Department to submit a report to the Legislature by December 1, 2016, with suggested modifications to fuel mix disclosure methods, calculations, and requirements, and on the accuracy of the unspecified sources calculations and pool of resources.
