Topic: "SRP Renewable Energy Program"
SRP’s Sustainable Portfolio program was put in place in 2004 to promote the development of both renewable energy resources and energy efficiency measures. The Sustainable Portfolio goal is to achieve 15% of SRP’s retail energy from sustainable resources by 2025. SRP has made good progress to date and currently has over 5% sustainable resources from a diverse mix of resources including wind, solar, hydro, landfill gas, geothermal and a variety of energy efficiency programs. An overview of the program and details on some of the renewable energy projects will be presented.
