Abstract:
Developing renewable energy in California will create thousands of jobs, build the businesses of
the 21st century, increase energy independence, and protect public health. California's
Renewables Portfolio Standard requires utilities to increase the amount of renewable generation
sold to customers to an average of 20 percent per year from January 1, 2011, to December 31,
2013; 25 percent by December 31, 2016; and 33 percent by December 31, 2020. In addition,
Governor Jerry Brown's Clean Energy Jobs Plan identifies a goal of installing 20,000 megawatts
of renewable generating capacity, including 12,000 megawatts of localized electricity generation
and 8,000 megawatts of utility‐scale generation, by 2020. This report outlines progress toward
each of these goals and discusses the issues the state must address to develop clean, renewable
electricity generation and the transmission infrastructure needed to bring that electricity to
customers as the first step toward creating a strategic plan to increase renewable generation and
transmission infrastructure development in California.
