California Energy Commission Adopts Renewable Energy Reports Showing Substantial Progress Toward Goals
Source: Smart Grid Observer
March 14, 2019 -- With another sign that California is reaching its ambitious clean energy goals, the California Energy Commission recently (3/12) approved renewable energy reports covering 40 of the state's 44 publicly owned electric utilities (POUs).
The Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) establishes intermediate targets for each multi-year compliance period. By the end of the 2014-2016 period, POUs had to procure at least 25 percent of their retail sales from renewable sources. Collectively, 34 of the 40 POUs met or exceeded the requirement. Those 34 represent more than 98 percent of all retail sales by POUs. The remaining six POUs applied for optional compliance measures.
The reports show progress in meeting renewable energy targets since the 2011-2013 compliance period, which required POUs to procure 20 percent of their retail sales from renewable sources. For that period, only 26 POUs met or exceeded the requirement.
More details are available in the business meeting agenda.
