Allocation Plan Overview
The Office of Energy Resources drafts RGGI Allocation Plans to show how RGGI proceeds will be allocated. These plans are designed to support and expand existing energy efficiency and renewable energy programs. The goal is to use proceeds in ways that reduce carbon emissions while keeping energy costs low for consumers over the long term. Each draft plan is shared with the public, and OER holds a hearing and accepts public comments before the plan is finalized.
In Rhode Island, RGGI auction proceeds are allocated by OER to drive investment in, and expansion of clean energy resources, including cost-effective energy efficiency and renewable energy and provide direct rate relief to low-income customers. The allowable use of auction proceeds in Rhode Island is governed by RI gen. laws §23-82-6. A link to full law can be found at the bottom of the page.
