Renewable Energy
Renewable energy comes from unlimited, naturally replenished resources, such as the sun, tides, and wind. Renewable energy can be used for electricity generation, space and water heating and cooling, and transportation. Non-renewable energy, in contrast, comes from finite sources, such as coal, natural gas, and oil.
Re-Powering America''s Land Initiative for Renewable Energy
RE-Powering piloted these program summaries in 2022 with information from the three states with the most RE-Powering sites hosting renewable energy projects––Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York––and a fourth state, Illinois, which requires that a portion of its new utility -scale solar projects be on RE-Powering sites.

What is RE-Powering? | US EPA
RE-Powering Program Overview; What are the Advantages of RE-Powering? Potentially contaminated land, landfills, and mine sites can offer significant advantages over other sites, such as open space, for renewable energy development. Some of these sites have unique attributes that can lower development costs and shorten development timeframes.

Hawai''i Clean Energy Initiative
In 2008, the state estimated that 60 to 70 percent of future energy needs could be fulfilled by local, clean, renewable energy sources, including energy efficiency. To turn this vision into reality, HCEI is transforming the financial, regulatory, legal, and institutional systems that govern energy planning and delivery within the state.
Study: State-level adoption of renewable energy standards saves money
To find out, the researchers evaluated the impacts of three RPS options out to 2030. One is business as usual (BAU), which means maintaining the current renewables requirement of 13 percent of generation in 2030. Another boosts the renewables share to 20 percent in 2030 (RPS+50%), and another doubles it to 26 percent (RPS+100%).
