The following is from the Massachusetts DOER. Knollwood Energy approves the transition list each quarter so the only difference for our customers will be the amount of payment. 

“Per 225 CMR 14.06(3)(f) effective January 1, 2022, any Solar Carve-out II Renewable Generation Unit whose Opt-in Term has expired, shall no longer be eligible to generate Solar Carve-out Renewable Generation Attributes, but will remain qualified to generate RPS Class I Renewable Generation Attributes. In order to ease the transition to RPS Class I Generation Units, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) Production Tracking System (PTS) will remain the Independent Verifier for all previously qualified Solar Carve-out Renewable Generation Units. Solar Carve-out Renewable Generation Units will only be required to confirm or update their NEPOOL GIS Asset ID (Asset ID) per the following guidance:

• If a Solar Carve-out Renewable Generation Unit is the only Generation Unit utilizing its current Asset ID, it may keep the same Asset ID but must be confirmed with DOER;
• If more than one Solar Carve-out Renewable Generation Unit is utilizing an Asset ID, a new RPS Class I Asset ID must be created for each Solar Carve-out Renewable Generation Unit.

Each quarter, DOER will send transition notices via email to GIS Account Holders at the email address that is listed in the PTS for each Solar Carve-out II Renewable Generation Unit that is eligible to transition to an RPS Class I Generation Unit. Account Holders must respond to the transition notices prior to the stated deadline to either confirm the existing Asset ID or provide a new Asset ID. Any Solar Carve-out Renewable Generation Units that do not have their Asset IDs confirmed with DOER prior to the response deadline will forfeit their Class I REC production for that quarter and will be eligible to transition in the subsequent quarter. No true ups will be granted for forfeited RECs.  

GIS Account Holders can reference the Solar Carve-out II Renewable Generation Units Qualified Units List to see the last SREC eligible quarter for all qualified systems. GIS Account Holders should also confirm that the email address listed in the PTS is up to date for all systems to ensure that transition notices are received. Per 225 CMR 14.06(6), system owners are required to maintain current contact information with DOER. If an email address needs to be updated, Account Holders may submit a change request in the PTS portal. Account Holders may contact doer.srec@mass.gov with any questions regarding the transition process.”
