Renewable Portfolio Standard
http://dceo.dc.gov/dceo/cwp/view,a,3,q,601870.asp
The City Council enacted an RPS in 2005 to provide increasing quantities of renewable
power to the city’s electricity supply. Beginning in 2007, 4% of the city’s power must be
derived from renewable resources and by 2022 the level rises to just over 11%. Fuel
cell-derived power qualifies as a Tier One resource.

Interconnection Standards
http://dceo.dc.gov/dceo/cwp/view,a,3,q,603172.asp
In 2003, the DC Public Service Commission issued an order for Pepco, the electric utility
that serves the city, to implement an interconnection tariff. Pepco also has a detailed
interconnection service agreement in place.
DC permits net metering of systems up to 100 kW that are powered by renewable
energy, including fuel cells operating on renewable fuels.
