While a 50% RPS is not certain or imminent, the threats of curtailment resulting from over-generation by renewable energy sources nonetheless pose a real revenue risk for solar energy developers. To address the unintended consequences of expanding policies like the RPS that are designed to promote renewables, the solar industry must ensure that states will concurrently While a 50% RPS is not certain or imminent, the threats of curtailment resulting from over-generation by renewable energy sources nonetheless pose a real revenue risk for solar energy developers. To address the unintended consequences of expanding policies like the RPS that are designed to promote renewables, the solar industry must ensure that states will concurrently adopt complementary mechanisms that will minimize curtailments and allow renewable projects to continue generating energy or that will provide for project cost recovery or compensation for curtailed generation.
