Electricity suppliers in D.C. must provide an increasing percentage of their electricity from renewable resources, following rules created by the Public Service Commission. The Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard program was established to help create a market in the District for electricity from renewable sources.
The
Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard Act requires the Commission to annually report on the status of RPS implementation. The report includes data on the number of renewable generators approved by the Commission and the availability of renewable resources in the District. The report also includes the number of renewable energy credits retired by the electricity suppliers to meet the RPS requirements.
