Renewable Energy Standards

Renewable Energy Standards (RES) are rules set by governments to encourage the use of renewable energy sources, like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. These standards require energy suppliers to obtain a certain percentage of their power from renewable sources. This helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and promotes cleaner air. RES can drive investments in renewable technologies, create jobs, and foster energy independence. By mandating a shift towards sustainable energy, they support a transition to a more environmentally friendly and resilient energy system.
