The key sectors, strategies, and goals are outlined in the table below: ENERGY SECTOR STRATEGIES 2030 GOALS Electricity (Generation and Delivery) Align electricity regulatory and policy framework with clean energy goals Renewable Portfolio Standard: 40% of delivered MWh renewable energy Increase certainty in the process for developing new renewable energy Deploy renewable generation and grid infrastructure Explore next generation technologies/new applications of existing technologies End Use Efficiency Align efficiency regulatory and policy framework with clean energy goals Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard: 4,300 MWh reduced Retrofit residential and commercial existing buildings Strengthen new construction policies/building codes Identify non-building related energy efficiency measures Transportation Improve standard vehicle efficiency of fleet Reduce petroleum used for ground transportation by 70%* Reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) Incorporate renewable fuels into transportation sector Accelerate the deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) and related infrastructure Fuels Evaluate local agricultural industry and support its development Meet as much of in-State demand for renewable fuels as is feasible Invest in key infrastructure at scale Evaluate and develop renewable fuel processing infrastructure Match potential fuels supply to sources of in-State demand *HCEI will develop an expanded understanding of the needs of the large buyers in the aviation and defense sector. In the future, marine and aviation biofuel alternatives may be substituted to help meet the goal by displacing the equivalent of 70% of ground transportation demand with non-fossil fuels.
