Renewable Generation Systems that generate electricity from the following renewable energy sources:

  • Solar
  • Anaerobic digester gas (ADG)
  • Biomass
  • Land fill gas (LFG)
  • Hydropower
  • Wind

In addition, the renewable generation systems should intend to meet the eligibility requirements of New York State Renewable Portfolio Standard (PSC Case 03-E-0188).
