The Delaware Renewable Energy Taskforce was established under the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards Act (26 Del.C. § 351 – § 364) to provide recommendations on establishing renewable energy trading mechanisms and other structures to support the growth of renewable energy in Delaware.

The Taskforce works to help the state meet the Renewable Portfolio Standards set by the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards Act. It is charged with examining the current state of Delaware’s renewable energy market, developing recommendations for renewable energy credit trading mechanisms, and finding ways to support the growth of renewable energy resources in Delaware.

The Taskforce reports its findings and proposes regulations as appropriate.

Meetings of the Delaware Renewable Energy Taskforce are posted on the DNREC calendar of events and on the Delaware Public Meeting Calendar.
