House Bill 6 left Ohio with least stringent clean-energy program in U.S., study shows
COLUMBUS – Since passage of a 2019 law now embroiled in criminal scandal, Ohio has had the least stringent clean-energy requirements of any U.S. state with a renewable standard, a survey of state policies shows.
While most states over the past two decades have increased the percentage of energy their utilities distribute that must come from renewable sources, Ohio has rolled back its requirement. Of 31 states with a “renewable energy portfolio standard” (RPS), Ohio derives the smallest share of its energy from renewable sources, according to a 2021 survey from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which conducts research for the U.S. Department of Energy.
For instance, since 2019, Washington D.C., Virginia, and Washington state have all adopted 100% zero-carbon clean energy requirements by 2050. New Mexico raised its target to 80%. Maryland, Maine and Nevada increased theirs to 50%.
Utilities in Ohio need only 8.5% renewable energy by 2026 to meet state requirements.
