• If the cause for delay or insufficient supply was foreseeable, VMUS procured an appropriate minimum margin of procurement above the level necessary to comply with the RPS to compensate for foreseeable delays or insufficient supply.
  • VMUS took reasonable measures to procure cost-effective distributed generation and allowable unbundled RECs.

3. Unanticipated Curtailment

Unanticipated curtailment of eligible renewable energy resources, if the delay of timely compliance would not result in an increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

4. Transportation Electrification

Unanticipated increase in retail sales due to transportation electrification. To utilize this condition, VMUS must consider whether transportation electrification significantly exceeded forecasts in VMUS' service territory based on the best and most recently available information available to VMUS. Further, VMUS must take reasonable measures to procure sufficient resources to account for unanticipated increases in retail sales due to transportation electrification.
