PURPA
Singing River Electric Power Association invites member participation in a public hearing to be held at the George County Justice Court Building, 368 Cox Street, Lucedale, MS, on March 5, 2007, at 10:00 a.m.
Electric utilities across the nation are making preparations to respond to the Energy Policy Act of 2005's (EPAct) amendments to the Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act of 1978 (PURPA).
PURPA was intended to encourage the conservation and efficient use of energy resources and to encourage the development of alternative power supplies capable of displacing the inefficient use of oil and natural gas by electric utilities. Under the Energy Policy of 2005, utilities with annual retail sales greater than 500 million kilowatt-hours must consider adopting five new standards added to PURPA.
The five standards include:
1. Smart Metering Standard
2. Interconnection Standard
3. Net Metering Standard
4. Fuel Sources Standard
5. Fossil Fuel Generation Efficiency Standard
Singing River Electric's Board of Directors seek input for their consideration, but is not required to adopt any procedures which are not deemed in the best interest of all our members.
