Note regarding application to the standard-offer program:

  In order to provide the SPEED Facilitator with sufficient time to develop the necessary processes with respect to the applications, settlement, wheeling, and other issues so that there may be an orderly start to the standard-offer program, we direct the SPEED Facilitator to begin accepting applications at 9 a.m., on October 19, 2009, unless the Board establishes a different starting date due to unforeseen implementation or other issues that require additional time for resolution. (September 30 Order at 17)

Lottery results for solar and biomass technologies

On the first day that applications were accepted for the standard-offer program, the solar and biomass technology categories were oversubscribed.  Pursuant to the Board's October 16 Order, the SPEED Facilitator conducted lotteries to determine the order of solar and biomass projects in the queue as well as the waiting lists for these technologies.  Please note that two projects that applied under farm methane category were placed in the biomass lottery as the Board will soon be issuing an order that defines what constitutes a farm methane project; it is possible that these projects may be moved to the farm methane category.
