Mass. regulators have proposed a mechanism for tying quantifiable equity goals and GHG emission reductions to state energy efficiency program funding.

Decarbonizing the U.S. grid will also mean overcoming communities’ aesthetic objections to large projects, Seattle City Light CEO Debra Smith told SEPA.

Mass. AG Maura Healey’s office organized a panel of policy experts to help regulators think about how they will manage a declining fossil fuel system.

Even as the electricity sector decarbonizes and appliance efficiency improves, reducing GHG emissions from buildings will prove increasingly difficult.

Successful development of low-carbon fuels could avoid stranding natural gas customers and infrastructure, a Con Ed official told the EBA.

Within two decades, increasing load from electrification will have MISO operating on a winter peaking model, RTO staff said.

Within 20 years, increasing electrification could have MISO members building hundreds of gigawatts of new generation, a new report says.

A shift to electric heating will raise winter power demands, but utilities could mitigate spikes by improving buildings' "thermal envelopes," ACEEE said.

Tesla is backing a bill in New York that it says would protect dealer franchises while allowing ZEV manufacturers to grow through direct sales.
