SUA adopts renewable energy certificate program to let customers claim green benefits
Summary
The Stillwater Utilities Authority adopted resolution SUA-2026-5 to implement a REC program enabling customers—primarily industrial—to buy RECs through SUA with GRDA retiring certificates on the utility's behalf; trustees approved the resolution 5-0.
Electric utility director Lawrence Smith presented a renewable energy certificate (REC) program for SUA customers who want to claim renewable attributes. Smith explained a REC is an intangible instrument representing the non-electrical benefits of one megawatt-hour of renewable generation and that GRDA would retire RECs on SUA's behalf while SUA would pass costs plus an administration fee to participating customers.
Trustees asked about the customer base and were told interest is primarily from industrial customers who pay a premium to claim green benefits; the resolution to adopt a REC tariff and agreements was approved 5-0 as resolution SUA-2026-5.
