Number of Awards
Size of Award	Arizona's renewable energy standard and tariff (REST) rules, which were ruled as constitutional on June 15, 2007, require utilities to increase their total renewable energy mix from 1.75 percent in 2008 to 15 percent by 2025. The requirements accelerate annually with 2.5 percent by 2010 to 5 percent by 2015, 10 percent by 2020, and 15 percent in 2025. Renewable energy-fueled CHP is specifically identified as an eligible resource. REST also requires that thirty percent of each utility's renewable energy must come from customer-side sources by 2012. One-half of the distributed renewable energy requirement must come from residential applications and the remaining one-half from nonresidential, non-utility applications. The RPS applies to any public service corporation serving retail electric load in Arizona but excludes any utility distribution company with more than half of its customers located outside of Arizona.
