In order to identify the extensive renewable electric transmission infrastructure that California will need to meet future consumer demand, the Renewable Energy Transmission Initiative (RETI) was created as a statewide initiative to identify the transmission projects needed to meet the state's energy goals (33% of California's electricity from renewable energy by 2020) and the greenhouse gas reduction goals of Assembly Bill 32. The RETI is a joint effort among the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the Energy Commission, the California Independent System Operator (California ISO), Investor-Owned Utilities, and Public Utilities.
