The Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) market is a policy-driven market for renewable energy. It is designed to encourage the development and use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass. RPS policies require electricity suppliers to obtain a certain percentage of their electricity from renewable sources. This percentage is set by the state or local government and is typically reviewed and updated on a regular basis. RPS policies are designed to create a stable market for renewable energy, providing incentives for renewable energy developers and suppliers. This helps to reduce the cost of renewable energy and encourages investment in renewable energy projects. Companies in the RPS market include renewable energy developers, suppliers, and utilities. Examples include SunPower, First Solar, and NRG Energy. Show Less Read more
