100% Renewable energy Standard - SUMMARY & FACT SHEETS

100% Renewable Energy Standard Fast Facts from Green Energy Consumers Alliance: 

• The Renewable Energy Standard (RES) requires Rhode Island’s electricity supply to include a steadily increasing minimum percentage of electricity from renewable sources.
• This bill codifies Gov. Raimondo's Executive Order 20-01 by updating the existing RES to ensure that Rhode Island consumers receive 100% renewable energy by 2030. 
• Rhode Island's energy portfolio is almost on track — but not quite! The 100% RES bill will ensure this goal is met.
