Renewables Portfolio Standard 2021-2024 Retail Sellers Procurement Verification Staff Report for Compliance Period 4

The California Energy Commission (CEC) is conducting the Renewables Portfolio Standard 2021-2024 Retail Sellers Procurement Verification for Compliance Period 4. Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 399.25(b), the CEC is responsible for preparing a Verification Report to ensure that procurement claim amounts from retail sellers are consistent with the RPS Eligibility Guidebook and the Enforcement Procedures for the Renewables Portfolio Standard for Local Publicly Owned Electric Utilities. This administrative process determines the eligibility of claims for the RPS program and provides the necessary findings for the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to determine overall retail seller compliance. The CEC adopted the California Energy Commission Renewables Portfolio Standard 2021-2024 Retail Sellers Procurement Verification Staff Report during a business meeting on June 22, 2026, and posted the notice on June 24, 2026. The project is based in Sacramento, California, and falls under NAICS code 541715. Because the scope of work is limited to an administrative review with no potential environmental impact, the project has been granted a Notice of Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the Common Sense exemption.
