Renewable energy goals
California is a perfect example of RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) failure: Seven years after adopting a 20%-by-2010 RPS mandate, California's deployed renewable energy percentage has not changed!
California Legislators have realized that we need something new and so now, AB1106 is working its way through the Legislature. AB1106 is the bill that implements the REESA FIT and is currently the FIT Coalition's first priority.
Feed-in Tariffs
Feed-in tariffs have proved to be the most successful policy for accelerated deployment of renewable energy.
Several governments in Europe and Canada have implemented feed-in tariffs to meet their RPS goals. Last year, Germany alone added ten time more solar-generation capacity than the state of California, despite California having a solar resource 50% better than Germany's.
