@advancedenergyunited.org agenda for states is simple:
👷Build it
✨Make it flexible
💲Make it affordable.
My call to action for our industry is to engage NOW in states and regions so that decision-makers understand how our industry can help them meet the moment.

The kicker is claiming this will save money, when the EPA previously estimated limiting car and truck emissions "is expected to generate more than $2.1 trillion in net benefits over the next 30 years, including $820 billion in fuel savings and $1.8 trillion in public health and climate benefits."

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is actually One Big Expensive Bill that, if passed as is, will do major damage to the U.S. economy, harm workers and families, and put the U.S. in the backseat when it comes to global competitiveness.

As written, the tax package passed by the House would abruptly cut critical advanced energy tax credits, putting billions in investments and thousands of American jobs at risk. These changes undermine our energy security and threaten the economic momentum driven by advanced energy deployment.

It's also unclear how much of the current problem is simply that the RTOs have so badly mismanaged interconnection queues that we simply cannot bring online sufficient capacity no matter what the market prices are! That seems to be what drove capacity prices up in PJM in 2024.

The push for third-party rooftop-solar ownership in Wisconsin has hit a snag.

Other states allow companies to own residential solar arrays on homeowners’ roofs, but in Wisconsin the question has been tied up in legal battles:

Reminder to my energy friends that the announcement today rescinds the Monday OMB memo but did not rescind the IIJA/IRA freeze memo. Still a ton of advocacy that will need to be done on that front.
