Requires such payments to be deposited in a Renewable Electricity Deployment Fund, from which payments shall be made to suppliers that have submitted credits in compliance with their obligations for the preceding year. Requires the Secretary to issue to each generator of renewable electricity one federal renewable electricity credit for each kilowatt hour of renewable electricity generated. Provides for the issuance of credits:
(1) to suppliers for renewable electricity generated with the support of payments from a supplier pursuant to a state renewable electricity program;
(2) to distributed generation facilities;
(3) for qualifying hydropower; and
(4) to generators that produce electricity using both a renewable energy resource and a non renewable resource. Provides for:
