California Renewable Portfolio Standards

California Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) are regulations requiring the state's utilities to progressively increase their purchase of electricity generated from renewable sources like wind, solar, and geothermal. The goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote clean energy, and combat climate change. By setting specific renewable energy percentage targets over time, RPS encourages investments in renewable infrastructure and ensures that a growing portion of California’s electricity comes from environmentally friendly sources, supporting a transition to a sustainable energy future while maintaining reliable power supply.
