M-RETS Fee Structure Analysis

Midwest Renewable Energy Tracking System
Project completed December 2014

The Midwest Renewable Energy Tracking System (M-RETS) tracks information about renewable energy production and delivery in participating states and provinces (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Manitoba, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin). For this project, Synapse created a model to explore alternatives to the Midwest Renewable Energy Tracking System’s (M-RETS) previous fee structure, benchmarked model forecasts to actual data, and created a matrix of Renewable Portfolio Standards tariffs in the M-RETS region.
