The Potential and Power of Renewable Energy Credits to Enhance Air Quality and Economic Development in ArizonaMatthew McDonnellUniversity of Arizona - James E. Rogers College of Law Kirsten H. EngelUniversity of Arizona - James E. Rogers College of Law Ardeth BarnhartUniversity of Arizona – Institute of the Environment May 16, 2011 Arizona State Law Journal, Forthcoming Arizona Legal Studies Discussion Paper No. 11-21 Abstract: Renewable energy holds the potential to address two needs in Arizona: cleaner air and a more vibrant economy. This article will recommend several changes to Arizona law and policy with respect to the State’s Renewable Energy Standard and Tariff (REST). Specifically, we suggest the State: (i) increase the percentage of renewable energy required under the REST schedule; (ii) allow a certain percentage of the REST to be met through RECs that are “unbundled” from the underlying electrons; (iii) require the use of an online tracking system; and, (iv) establish transparent noncompliance penalties.
