State by state RPS Comparison
The comparison tools on this page provide a more visual way to see how RPS policies vary among states.
Compare State Policy Design
Many factors may determine how much renewable energy will be used in your state, and how much it will cost. Each ring represents important state policies that affect the state renewables environment. Compare a state to its neighbors through the colors in the chart and the descriptions.

Compare State Trajectories
RPS policies often differ in their trajectories, or in how quickly they ‘ramp-up’ alternative energy usage toward the final goal. Click your state on the map to highlight its trajectory, then choose up to [#] other states to visually compare on the graph.
(Once you have familiarized yourself with RPS, visit our RPS Feasibility Calculator web tool and try creating a successful policy of your own.) Depends on how we want to highlight the calculator on this page. You can directly access both the RPS Feasibility Calculator and comparison tools from the left sidebar at any time.
