California Renewable Portfolio Standard

The California Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is a policy that requires electric utility companies in California to obtain a certain percentage of their energy from renewable sources, like solar, wind, and hydropower. The goal is to increase the use of clean energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and combat climate change. Over time, California aims to reach ambitious targets, with a goal of 100% clean, zero-carbon electricity by 2045. This standard helps promote investment in renewable energy technologies and supports the state's transition to a more sustainable energy future.
