Renewables Portfolio Standards (RPS) Proceeding - Docket # 03-RPS-1078
Committee Overseeing the Energy Commission's RPS proceeding:
Commissioner and Presiding Member
Renewables Committee

Renewables Committee
Senate Bill 1078 (Sher, Chapter 516, Statutes of 2002) requires that the Energy Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) work collaboratively to implement the RPS and assigns specific roles to each agency. Senate Bill 107 (Smitian and Perata, Chapter 464, Statutes of 2006) and Senate Bill 1036 (Perata, Chapter 685, Statutes of 2007) amended portions of the law relating to RPS and revised the Energy Commission's roles, which are to:
- Certify eligible renewable resources that meet criteria contained in the bill.
- Design and implement a tracking and verification system to ensure that renewable energy output is counted only once for the purpose of the RPS and for verifying retail product claims in California or other states.
The CPUC is addressing its responsibilities in implementing the RPS through its own proceedings. On April 22, 2004, the CPUC issued an Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) to specifically address the RPS (R. 04-04-026). The CPUC addresses RPS compliance and reporting issues in R.06-05-027. In December 2006, the CPUC issued a new rulemaking (R. 06-02-012) that replaced the previous proceeding and addresses completing the design for RPS implementation and coordinating the RPS program with new initiatives and programs.
