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

The California Energy Commission prepared and adopted the Renewables Portfolio Standard 2021-2024 Retail Sellers Procurement Verification Staff Report for Compliance Period 4, verifying that retail sellers’ procurement claims align with the eligibility and procedural requirements outlined in the RPS Eligibility Guidebook and RPS POU Regulations. This report confirms the legitimacy of renewable energy procurement data submitted by all retail sellers during the 2021-2024 compliance period, ensuring adherence to California’s Renewables Portfolio Standard. The CEC formally adopted the report during its June 22, 2026 meeting and transmitted it to the California Public Utilities Commission to inform the determination of each seller’s compliance status. The report is part of the mandatory verification process under Public Resources Code section 399.25(b), designed to uphold the integrity of California’s renewable energy procurement framework. The CEC’s enforcement role in this process is fulfilled through detailed analysis and certification of procurement amounts, after which the CPUC assumes responsibility for compliance judgments. The report was publicly posted on June 24, 2026, with primary point of contact Gina Barkalow, Program and Project Supervisor at the CEC in Sacramento, available for inquiries. The action is part of a broader regulatory sequence to ensure accountability and transparency in the state’s renewable energy market.
