SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Electric utility restructuring; green power. Directs the State Corporation Commission to establish guidelines for competitive service providers of electricity that desire to market their energy in Virginia as “Green Power.” In defining what constitutes Green Power, the Commission shall consider the information on fuel mixes of electricity generators that the Commission is required to collect pursuant to the Electric Utility Restructuring Act. The designation of certain electricity as Green Power shall provide consumers thereof with assurance that the Commission has confirmed that the provider's marketing information has been substantiated as valid. Non-qualifying electricity providers will be barred from using the “Green Power” label. This is a recommendation of the Consumer Advisory Board established pursuant to the Restructuring Act.
