CARB should consider additional renewable procurement beyond what's
required by the current Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) and
explore this option for load-serving entities (LSEs) through the
Integrated Resources Plan process. Meeting the 50 percent RPS under
SB 350—and even exceeding it—is achievable and feasible for many
LSEs and will be important for maximizing the emission reducing
potential of switching from gasoline-powered to electric vehicles
(EVs) as more EVs are brought onto the grid.
