The document provides an overview of California's Renewables Portfolio Standard program and progress toward meeting its goals. It discusses that California aims for utilities to procure 20% of electricity from renewable sources by 2010 and 33% by 2020. While utilities are on track to meet targets based on contracts, some projects face development barriers like permitting and financing challenges. The CPUC is working on solutions like tradable renewable energy credits and transmission planning to help achieve renewable energy goals in a cost-effective manner.
