Proposed Expansion of Nevada RPS Boosts Solar Industry Outlook

Nevada AB 206, aimed to expand the state’s renewable portfolio standard (RPS) to 80 percent by 2040, is the latest in the growing list of states planning to strengthen their renewable energy targets. While AB 206 would place Nevada in a similar trajectory with top-tier RPS states, such as California and New York, Massachusetts has proposed an even more ambitious goal of 100 percent by 2035, aiming to make Massachusetts the first U.S. state to be powered entirely by renewable energy. Stronger RPS policies will stimulate market and technology development to increase the competitiveness of renewable energy.

DOI Approves the Largest U.S. Onshore Wind Energy Project in Coal-Dominated Wyoming

The Department of the Interior has approved Phase I of a 3 GW wind project to be built in two phases on 220,000 acres in Wyoming. Meanwhile, legislators have introduced a bill that would ban the use of large-scale renewable generation to meet in-state needs by 2019. Despite the state’s high-quality wind resources, additional regulatory and tax burden on Wyoming’s wind industry could make the state less competitive nationwide, creating a foregone opportunity in the long term.
