NC: The North Carolina legislature created a renewable portfolio standard in August 2007.  Under the standard, public electric utilities are required to obtain renewable energy and energy efficiency savings equal to 3% of prior-year electricity sales in 2012 and increasing to 12.5% in 2021 and subsequent years.  Energy efficiency can be used to meet up to 25% of that requirement until 2018, and 40% thereafter.
