Key Policy Opportunities
Electricity Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Targets
Electricity greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets are set by a state to limit GHG emissions in the electricity sector. These targets aim to reduce emissions by different amounts over time, often expressed as percentage relative to a baseline year.
Clean Energy and Renewable Portfolio Standards
Repealed: 15% renewable energy by 2025, on an annual load basis
Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandates
State, county, and municipal governments are not allowed to restrict the use or sale of vehicles based on the vehicle's energy source. Therefore, the state is prohibited from adopting a ZEV mandate.
