To keep the electricity sector of the industry moving forward a national Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) has been created. A RES requires electric utilities (i.e. Pepco, BGE, PG&E) to generate a minimum percentage of their electricity from clean, renewable resources.
The national RES seeks to provide clear policy direction to energy producers that countries needs renewable energy. By creating a long-term, stable market for renewable energy, the RES allows investors and entrepreneurs to commit to new technologies and services that warrant new workforce development. This commitment will help ensure that we are developing the technologies we need to meet our goal of addressing global warming and addressing high unemployment.
Fortunately, the District of Columbia and twenty eight (28) states have adopted individual RES programs, and Congress is constantly address national RES legislation in order to help American realize its full renewable electricity potential.
