Those nine outcomes include dramatically expanding existing renewable power sources and deploying new production capacity with the goal of meeting 100% of statewide power demand through renewable energy resources, building a statewide, energy-efficient, smart grid, and promoting job creation through the implementation of a plan and policies that promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, and green technologies.
