The I-REC Standard board clarified its position regarding issuance restrictions for 2015 and 2016 electricity production. Issuance of 2015 production will take place according to existing 13-month issuance regulations as mentioned in clause 9.5 of the I-REC Standard Code.

 

For 2016 issuance the 13-month issuance regulations will be replaced with a single point of issuance restriction, the residual mix deadline. Following the residual mix deadline no I-REC certificates will be issued for the previous year’s electricity production. The first residual mix deadline will be implemented on March 15 2017.  

 

The I-REC Standard code manager has been tasked with implementing these changes into the code.
