Can Clean Peak Standards brighten the view in this part of Brooklyn?

Activists in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood have explored whether Clean Peak Standards can address air quality and energy inequity. (Photo by Victoria Belanger via Flickr Creative Commons.) 

Explainer: Can Clean Peak Standards Make Energy Economics Meet Energy Justice?

  • Energy Justice
  • Metrics

  • Strategy/Policy
  • Utility business models
One state has tried requiring power at peak demand periods to come from clean sources. This mandate can improve air quality in low-income communities. Critics question its effect on emissions, though, and its optimal design as clean-energy storage for utilities evolves.

The New Brooklyn?

March 04, 2022
Source: Axios
This March 4 compression of a complex announcement outlines the play: major American city strikes deal with partnership among self-reinventing energy companies to use municipal land for building wind turbines and construction jobs.
Think of the power you could set free (affordably)!

(Courtesy Governor Phil Murphy's Flickr account.) A new capacity market framework for PJM could make offshore wind from this segment of New Jersey more competitive more quickly. 

Policy Memo: Federal Support on Capacity Can Boost Regional Wind Goals

Val Stori

  • Topics:
  • Market incentives
  • Offshore wind
  • Onshore wind
Now, to advance the buildout of renewable energy, FERC should set a process and timeframe for adopting a new market structure. That structure should be adaptable and transparent, advance state offshore wind policy goals, meet consumer clean energy and equity goals, and maintain reliability.

Transmission Trouble Touches Texas- and Taints the Whole American Economy

October 29, 2021
Source: E & E News
This October 28 feature holds a wind project bound for Texas up to the light - and sees too much torpor in the progress of the United States' grid updating. (Do you see a theme here?)

Joseph Fiordaliso on New Jersey's Energy Master Plan (Updated as the Plan Moves Forward in '21)

  • EV charging
  • Deregulation
  • Market incentives
  • Wholesale market rules
When we spoke with Joseph Fiordaliso, the president of the state's Board of Public Utilities, lockdowns were still only happening overseas and states were the only serious partners for renewable developers. Now, New Jersey is moving forward on transmission investment- making Fiordaliso's cheery appeals to the next generation and the...

In States and Cities, Renewable Investment Grows and Grows Less Partisan

Abdeali Saherwala
August 31, 2021
  • Topics:
  • Energy Justice
  • Energy Efficiency
The quick take says that Republicans dismiss the climate threat and refuse to see the upside in renewable energy. The deeper take shows more complexity and more finance for clean energy in ostensibly red states. Our reporter spoke with one Republican mayor to learn how solar, wind and efficiency can...

Big, But Not Easy: Can Offshore Wind Spark Economic Transformation in the Gulf Coast?

Tyler Clevenger

  • Topics:
  • Energy Justice
  • Deregulation
  • Market incentives
  • Wholesale market rules
Some have tried and none have managed to sync America’s clean energy ambitions with its fossil-based heritage through federal policy. The current administration is trying in many industries, including offshore wind manufacturing. That warrants a look at the Gulf Coast. Known as a longtime oil and gas cluster, the Gulf...

Texas Freezes, the Grid Cracks, and We Pick Up the Pieces

Emily Richardson

  • Topics:
  • Distributed Energy Resources
When you fiddle with spreadsheet cells or engineering models all day in pursuit of clean energy, the sound of stasis can clang in your ears. So after local and national politicians blamed wind turbines for a power outage that interrupted water supplies and left people freezing for days across the...
