Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)
Connecticut's RPS statutes require that a specific percentage of the generation provided to Connecticut consumers be produced from renewable energy sources such as solar, hydropower, landfill gas, fuel cells and other similar sources. For 2007, the RPS is 7.5% increasing to 14% by 2010, 19.5% by 2015 and 27% by 2020.
Annually, the DPUC reviews CL&P, UI and Connecticut's electric suppliers' compliance with the previous years' RPS requirements. Compliance with the 2006 RPS is currently being reviewed under Docket No. 07-09-14.
