Priorities for Voluntary Renewable Energy Under the Clean Electricity Performance Program

As Congress considers adoption of the Federal Clean Electricity Performance Program (CEPP), it is important to understand the impacts on existing renewable energy markets in the U.S., particularly private investment in and use of renewable energy—the voluntary market. This policy brief from CRS’s Clean Energy Accounting Project (CEAP) provides an overview of the critical role the voluntary market plays in clean energy development, and policy recommendations that can easily be incorporated into the CEPP’s implementation to support a robust and impactful voluntary market into the future.
