  • Energy Efficiency
  • Metrics
  • PACE
  • Residential
  • Strategy/Policy
Each building owner, with a team of investors, needs to work out a particular electrification schedule. Broad public policies, though, can advance new technologies or marketing strategies that can help more buildings go electric sooner. This sequel to our earlier explainer sets out some scalable policies from across the United...

Community Solar's Bend Toward Energy Justice, Episode Two: Utilities Push Back

Kevin Cellucci
May 18, 2021
  • Topics:
  • Community solar
  • Distributed Energy Resources
Community solar developers have a compelling idea for how to extend renewable energy to people who can't install panels on their rooftops. They also face a series of questions. These include: how to coexist with utilities, and how to tie in to utilities' grids, and how to buy land, and...

  • Energy Justice
  • Deregulation
  • Market incentives
  • Wholesale market rules

  • Energy Justice
  • Industrial
