Use your "Format" pull-down menu to switch to plain text format. ____________________________________________________________________________ The Electricity Marketplace Governance Committee's Second Interim Report includes a series of recommendations regarding the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources, including a proposal for a provincial renewable portfolio standard or RPS. RPS is legislation meant to ensure that a minimum amount of renewable energy is included in the portfolio of the electricity resources serving a jurisdiction (such as a province or state). Many jurisdictions adopt RPS as a way of addressing environmental issues such as SO2 or greenhouse gas emissions. This paper's examination of the proposed recommendations for renewables and a provincial RPS shows that they will have a negligible impact on either Nova Scotia's renewable energy industry or its greenhouse gas emissions. The paper proposes a RPS that would make significant inroads into Nova Scotia's greenhouse gas emissions, at the same time encouraging a provincial renewable energy industry. The paper's authors are Larry Hughes, Kathleen Bohan, Khosrow Jafapur, Howlan Mullally, and Jaspreet Singh.
