Proposed BERDO Regulatory Update on Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
The Air Pollution Control Commission has opened a public comment period on proposed updates to BERDO Regulations related to MA Class I Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The proposed updates (slides 8-14) would allow building owners to use MA Class I RECs generated six months after an emissions compliance year to ensure that MA Class I RECs continue to be a viable compliance option for all building owners that wish to mitigate emissions retroactively during the annual BERDO reporting period.
Comments are due at noon on May 8. Please reach out to Yve Torrie with any comments by EOD May May 5 for inclusion in A Better City’s comments.
