From the meeting
At its October 27, 2026 meeting, the Board was asked to authorize the General Manager to sell surplus 2026 renewable energy credits (RECs) and buy an equal volume of 2030-vintage RECs. Staff said the exchange was tied to a projected 2030 REC deficit and needed Board approval because 2030 vintage RECs were outside policy authority. The net cost would not exceed $300,000, subject to final contract terms with the REC marketing counterparty.
Decision state: recommended.
