Renewables Portfolio Standard Overview

Research output: NLR › Fact Sheet

Abstract

A Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) is a requirement on electric utilities and other electric suppliers to supply a minimum percentage or amount of their load with eligible sources of renewable energy. The RPS has become increasingly popular because of its benefits and the public benefits of renewable energy. A well-designed state RPS can effectively deliver a renewable energy supply andassociated benefits, at a low cost or even with consumer savings. This fact sheet provides an overview of an effective RPS design.
