Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)
RPS requires utilities to provide a certain quantity (percentage or megawatts) of power generated from the renewable energy sources.
Secure energy supply and alleviate the crisis of climate change and environmental pollution
Foster innovation and enhance competitivenessImprove local and regional benefit (e.g. job creation, economic development)

ConclusionThe
design of RPS would significantly influence the renewable
power generation adoption and development
Current RPS policies encouraged the power generation of wind power more than solar PVInnovating by doing is significant on solar PVIn general, RPS has no significant impact on renewable innovation
