Dear Supporters,
On Tuesday, Missourians passed Proposition C, the Missouri Clean Energy Initiative, with 66% of the vote!
Passing this RES in Missouri shows that support for renewable energy transcends party lines and that Americans are ready for clean energy solutions.
Given this was largely a grassroots campaign, we want to personally thank you for all that you did to help pass Proposition C. With your support, Missouri has taken a huge step forward for renewable energy and will help to lead the way towards a clean energy future.
What this means for Missouri:
- Prop C requires investor-owned utilities to get 15% of their electricity from clean energy sources, such as wind and solar power, by 2021.
- Prop C includes a rebate that will lower the cost of solar installations by nearly 20%.
- Prop C is expected to save Missourians $331 million over the next 20 years on their electric bills.
- Prop C is expected to stimulate in-state generation of renewable energy sources resulting in more than 10,000 new jobs.
We celebrate this victory with you. Your financial support and volunteer hours spearheaded our grassroot efforts. We appreciate your continued support as we implement Prop C through the rule-making process, and as we continue to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency in Missouri.
Thanks again for all your help! We look forward to your continued involvement in assuring that Missouri becomes a national leader in developing clean, renewable energy.
— The Missouri Clean Energy Team
