Delaware Governor Expands State’s Existing Renewable Portfolio Standard

On July 24, 2007, Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner signed Senate Bill 19, which expands the state’s existing renewable portfolio standard to require that 2 percent of the state’s electricity supply come from solar photovoltaics by 2019, in addition to 18 percent from other renewable sources by the same date. Sources of energy that count toward the standard include wind, ocean tidal, ocean thermal, fuel cells powered by renewable fuels, hydroelectric facilities with a maximum capacity of 30 megawatts, sustainable biomass, anaerobic digestion, and landfill gas.
