A project team had a utility company install a photovoltaic system where the utility company retained the environmental benefit attributes of the system. What statement is true regarding this system?
A: The system will reduce the amount of energy consumed by the project
B: The project will not be able to participate in a net metering program, if available
C: The project can participate in a net metering program and sell back the electricity at a premium
D: The energy produced by the system is ineligible for Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Green Power

参考答案: D

本题解释:
Reference: Energy and Atmosphere Credit, On-Site Renewable Energy, Implementation, Retention of Rene

If the environmental attributes are retired or retained, the energy is ineligible. Power sold back to the grid cannot be sold at a premium, because this indicates that the environmental attributes are being sold.

Renewable energy systems do not reduce the amount of energy consumed; they only alter the type of energy consumed.
