Ok, so you get both ROCs and REGOs for your renewable egnery. You sell all your ROCs, except for the ~10% that you are obliged to keep.I’m not too clear about what you do with your REGOs, if anything. Is it your REGOs that allow you (legally) to claim that 50% of your egnery is renewable? And for your plus tariff, you buy a REGO with every unit of electricity you purchase, which allows you to claim that 100% is renewable?Presumably, GE have *no* egnery production capacity of their own, they purchase the equivalent amount of egnery to their customers’ demand from other (green?) suppliers. Then they buy the ~10% ROC obligation, plus 5% (allegedly) extra to retire? And they also buy 100% REGOs, allowing them to claim it is 100% renewable?Have I understood correctly?I’m fairly chuffed that my arithmetic using google/wikipedia figures combined with Dale’s rule of thumb chimes with the ETSU study!
