Nevada governor signs 50% RPS bill – Yesterday Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak (D) signed SB 358, which would require utilities to source 50% of their electricity from renewable energy by 2030, and set a goal for the state to generate enough electricity with zero-carbon sources to meet its own demand by 2050. Our take: This makes Nevada the 6th state-level jurisdiction (including Washington D.C.) to set a target to reach at least 50% renewable electricity by 2030 or sooner. Source: NV.gov.
