- A company proposing a 20 MW solar plant in Idaho says it is entitled to keep all renewable energy credits after the state Public Utilities Commission takes ownership of the plant.
- The commission says Grand View PV Solar Two is reading federal law the wrong way and that credits are allotted various ways in each case.
- The issue comes up as they negotiate a power-purchase agreement and depends on the federal Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act.

The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has rejected a solar developer's request to sell output power to the state's grid while also receiving financial benefits of renewable energy credits (REC). At issue is Grand View PV Solar Two, the developer of a proposed 20 MW solar plant.
