I. A certificate may be sold or otherwise exchanged by the source to which it was initially issued or by any other person or entity that acquires the certificate. A certificate may only be used once for compliance with the requirements of this chapter. It may not be used for compliance with this chapter if it has been or will be used for compliance with any similar requirements of another non-federal jurisdiction, or otherwise sold, retired, claimed, or represented as part of any other electrical energy output or sale. Certificates shall only be used by providers of electricity for compliance with the requirements of N.H. Rev. Stat. § 362-F:3 in the year in which the generation represented by the certificate was produced, except that unused certificates of the proper class issued for production during the prior 2 years may be used to meet up to 30 percent of a provider’s requirements for a given class obligation in the current year of compliance.
II. Certificates from behind-the-meter distributed generation shall be initially issued to the owner of the customer-sited source or its designee, regardless of whether the source has received assistance from the renewable energy fund established in N.H. Rev. Stat. § 362-F:10.
