Missouri's utilities oppose planned 25% renewable ballot initiative - Electric Power | Platts News Article & Story: "Missouri's electric utilities are opposing a planned 25%-by-2025 renewable portfolio standard (RPS) ballot initiative, Trey Davis, Missouri Energy Development Association executive director, said Thursday.

"The 25% RPS is putting a tax on families and small business while expanding state government to do so," Davis said. The RPS will only benefit a few parties, like the renewable industry, he said.

Instead, the trade association plans to have a bill introduced when the Missouri General Assembly convenes next week that will clarify aspects of Missouri's existing 15%-by-2021 RPS, Davis said. MEDA may also try to place a question on the November ballot to maintain the existing RPS, he said."
