Comparison: State vs. Federal
• Rules. To date, the federal government's involvement in renewable energy programs has been limited to voluntary programs and providing financial incentives for renewable energy generation, but California is taking actions to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. California has issued Executive Orders and developed statutes and regulations to establish a renewable energy portfolio standard. In addition, CPUC is implementing strategies to improve energy efficiency and CARB is requiring certain facilities to conduct energy efficiency analyses.
• Administration and enforcement. The California Public Utilities Commission, in conjunction with the California Air Resources Board, is responsible for the administration of the renewable energy portfolio standard and energy efficiency requirements and programs in California.
