Attachment A
2011 Annual Report on the REC Program
This Report complies with the requirements of P.U.C. SUBST. R. 25.173(g)(11) and ERCOT
Protocol Section 14. Exhibits 1-6 contain Protected Information pursuant to P.U.C. SUBST. R.
25.362 and ERCOT Protocol Section 1.3, and are filed as confidential information. Participants
in the Renewable Energy Credit (REC) Program may view their information (used in the creation
of the confidential reports) via their online REC accounts.
I.
Existing and New Renewable Capacity
New renewable generation capacity in the REC Program increased in 2011. There are currently
one hundred and eighteen (118) REC generation accounts with an installed capacity of 11,287.8
megawatts (MW). There are a total of six (6) offset generator accounts with a total of 297.6 MW
of capacity. This renewable generation capacity exceeds the 2025 target of 10,000 MW of
installed renewable generation capacity in the state that is set forth in Section 39.904 of the
Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA).

NOTE: The REC Program tracks all renewable generation in Texas, including ERCOT and all
other regions of Texas. The Program, however, is voluntary and only tracks generation that is
registered in the Program. Therefore, the MWs of capacity in this report may not align with the
total Renewable Resource generation registered in ERCOT System Planning Reports and other
reporting agencies.
II.
Eligible Non-Texas Capacity
At this time, there is no eligible non-Texas capacity serving Load in the REC Program.
III.
REC Aggregation Company Activities
P.U.C. SUBST. R. 25.173 defines a REC Aggregator as an entity that manages the participation of
two or more micro-generators in the REC Program. A micro-generator is defined as a customer
that owns one or more eligible renewable energy generating units with a rated capacity of less
than one (1) MW, operating on the customer’s side of the utility meter. At this time, the only
entities serving as Aggregators are Austin Energy and RKR Ranch, LLC.

Renewable Energy Generated
The total amount of energy generated by renewable generation resources tracked by the Program
for 2011 is 31,708,015.92 MW hours (MWh). This represents an increase of approximately
13% in MWh of renewable generation over 2010. Since the Program is voluntary for generation
entities, some renewable generation in the state may not be registered in the Program. The
5
following table shows MWh totals from participating renewable generation by technology type
for each quarter in 2011, including “offset” generation.

Compliance Premiums
Pursuant to P.U.C. SUBST. R. 25.173(c)(2), a compliance premium (CP) is a premium awarded
by ERCOT in conjunction with a REC that is generated by non-wind renewable generation and
meets the criteria in P.U.C. SUBST. R. 25.173(m). For purposes of the renewable energy
portfolio standard (RPS) requirements, one (1) CP is equal to one (1) REC. During 2008, for the
first time, CPs were made available to all “non-wind” renewable generation in the state that
began producing energy after September 1, 2005. In 2008, five (5) companies received 155,006
CPs. In 2009, ten (10) companies received 200,570 CPs. In 2010, eleven (11) companies
received 275,910 CPs. In 2011, sixteen (16) companies received 367,513 CPs.

Renewable Energy Unit Retirements
In 2011, no generation account holder retired units.

REC and CP Retirements and Expirations
The list of Program participants retiring RECs and CPs in 2011, and the amount of those
retirements, is provided as confidential information in Exhibit 3. The total number of RECs
retired for the mandate was 9,031,949, including adjustments for previous year true-ups as
required by the Commission. 50,782 CPs were also retired for the mandate.
For the fourth year in a row, voluntary retirements surpassed the mandated retirements. There
were 15,288,819 RECs and 150,295 CPs retired in the voluntary market.
Unlike retiring RECs for the annual mandate, owners may voluntarily retire RECs and CPs for
any previous year. For various business reasons, in 2011 some owners retired an additional
11
483,657 RECs for 2009 and 4,465,159 RECs for 2010. A list of these specific retirements is
provided as confidential information in Exhibit 6.
ERCOT retired a total of 421,317 RECs due to expiration as required by P.U.C. SUBST. R.
25.173(l).
XIII. Renewable Portfolio Standard Retirement Compliance

XIV. Industrial Load Opt-out
P.U.C. SUBST. R. 25.173(j)(1) provides that “A customer receiving service at transmission-level

electric service identifiers (ESI IDs) that opted out of the Program.
A table identifying the industrial Loads and associated MWh of Load removed from the
calculation is provided as confidential information in Exhibit 5.
