A Citizens Guide to the NC REPS
In a historic stroke of the pen on August 20, 2007, Governor Mike Easley signed Senate Bill 3 and North Carolina became the 25th state - and the first in the Southeast - to enact a mandatory renewable energy and energy efficiency portfolio standard (REPS) into law. The new law - known as Session Law 2007-397 - requires North Carolina electric utilities to include renewable energy and energy efficiency in their electric generation portfolios. They must do this by ensuring that a percentage of the electricity they sell is created through the use of renewable energy resources or energy efficiency measures.
In an effort to help individuals, businesses, government, nonprofits and others understand our state's REPS law, The NC Sustainable Energy Association has produced "A Citizen's Guide: The North Carolina Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard," which provides helpful background information and resources.
