In 2002 the Legislature established the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), which required all privately-owned utilities to get 20% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2017. In 2003 candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed to accelerate the RPS to 20% by 2010. After the Governor’s veto of a previous RPS acceleration bill in 2004, SB 107 (Simitian) now requires that the 20% renewables requirement be met in 2010.
