Clean Energy Standards

Clean Energy Standards are policies that require a certain percentage of electricity generated within a region to come from clean, renewable sources like wind, solar, and hydropower. The goal is to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and promote sustainable energy development. These standards ensure energy providers invest in cleaner technologies, helping to combat climate change and improve air quality. They function as a regulatory framework to gradually increase the share of environmentally friendly energy in the overall power mix, supporting a transition toward a more sustainable and resilient energy system.
