RPS mechanisms have tended to be most successful in stimulating new renewable energy capacity in the United States where they have been used in combination with federal Production Tax Credits (PTC). In periods, where PTC have been withdrawn the RPS alone has often proven to be insufficient stimulus to incentivise large volumes of capacity. [8]
A renewable portfolio standard (RPS) is a regulation that requires the increased production of energy from renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal. Other common names for the same concept include Renewable Electricity Standard ( RES ) at the United States federal level and Renewables Obligation in the UK .
The next October, the DOE announced that four projects, the 1.2-gigawatt Aroostook Project in Maine, 1.9-gigawatt Cimarron Link in Oklahoma, 3-gigawatt Southern Spirit between Texas and Mississippi, and 1-gigawatt Southline in New Mexico, were being awarded a total of $1.5 billion under the TFP; the DOE also released its first ever National ...
Federal planning on a broader policy basis began concurrently with the development of the country's hydropower potential. [3] [4] Since WWII, federal hydropower policy has become entwined within these and other broader policy concerns and it has been affected by them considerably; changes in hydropower policy have also attempted to address ...
The Big Apple took a big step toward lowering its carbon footprint last week when regulators gave the go-ahead to a $4.5 billion transmission line that will deliver Canadian hydropower to New York...
Oct. 30—The U.S. Department of Energy on Monday gave a boost to a proposed high-voltage transmission line that would run through New Hampshire and bring hydropower to New England. The feds ...
In 2020, Vermont had a total summer capacity of 829 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 2,156 GWh. [2] In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 56.5% hydroelectric, 17.3% biomass, 16.3% wind, 9.6% solar photovoltaics , 0.1% petroleum, and 0.1% other.
The RPS was created in 2007, but was updated in 2016 to require that 50% of energy consumption in Oregon must come from renewable energy by 2040. [3] ODOE is responsible for tracking the progress towards this goal in addition to helping institute ways to reach it through various programs.
