Long Title: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 26 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO RENEWABLE ENERGY PORTFOLIO STANDARDS.
Synopsis:
This Act will permit municipal electric companies and rural electric cooperatives that elect to develop and implement a program comparable to the State’s renewable energy portfolio standards (“RPS”) to utilize conservation, energy efficiency and demand-side management programs, in addition to renewable energy resources, to achieve RPS compliance. Conservation, efficiency and demand-side management programs meet or exceed many of the positive attributes associated with renewable energy resources. Such measures are non-polluting, non-invasive to the environment, cost efficient, economically sustainable and mitigate the need for new power plant construction.
