Renewable Energy Goal

Value:Varies

The Energy Security Act effectively established a renewable portfolio standard to guide state energy investment. The Act required utilities in the state to generate at least 15% of their retail energy from renewable sources by 2015, but without stepped progress "checkpoints" or longer-term goals enumerated. In lieu of renewable energy credits, compliance with the standard goal was measured through annual reports sent to the Oklahoma legislature. Currently, 25.9% of retail energy in Oklahoma is generated renewably. The same legislation elevated the status of natural gas as the preferred fossil fuel for energy generation. Utilities that do not use natural gas are required to explain why they made that choice to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.

Energy Standards for State Buildings

Value:Varies

Previously in Oklahoma, new state facilities were required to meet certain energy-efficient building standards and seek certification from the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. The statutes codifying this requirement were repealed in 2013. Oklahoma still sets energy efficiency standards at the state level for public and private buildings to follow at their choice. The state government may seek ENERGY STAR certification for buildings at its discretion.
