Wisconsin Compliance

M-RETS is the designated tracking system for the state of Wisconsin's RPS. For certificates to be used for WI Compliance the generator associated with the certificates must have the necessary Wisconsin eligibilities applied to it.

WI Bankable is defined as: " M-RETS classifies Certificates that are WI RRC eligible and less than four years old as WI Bankable. WI Bankable Certificates are valid for Wisconsin compliance up to four years after the vintage year listed on the Certificate. After the fourth year, M-RETS removes the WI Bankable Certificate eligibility and the Certificate no longer qualifies for the Wisconsin RPS."

WI Non-Bankable: " M-RETS classifies Certificates that are not WI RRC eligible and less than one-year-old as WI Non-Bankable. Organizations may only retire Certificates for the Wisconsin RPS that are Non-Bankable for the compliance year matching the vintage listed on the Certificate. For example, a Wisconsin compliance Organization may retire a 2017 WI Non-Bankable Certificate for the 2017 Wisconsin RPS but not for the 2018 Wisconsin RPS. Because M-RETS does not set expiration dates on RECs, a User may still use a 2017 Wisconsin Non-Bankable REC for other purposes if that REC meets the guidelines for other state or voluntary programs"
