The EPA’s final rule allows states to keep online retiring power plants for an additional year, according to EI’s Michelle Solomon, this long lead time should prevent supply shocks.

EI research finds that upgrading existing lines with advanced conductors could spur a nearly four-fold increase in transmission capacity expansion by 2035 compared to a new-build-only approach.

Utilities have alternative options to addressing rising energy demand, and EI’s Michelle Solomon and Eric Gimon explain why building gas plants is not the best solution for long-term demand growth.

The technology we need to transition to a clean economy exists, Jeff Rissman’s book Zero Carbon Industry provides the roadmap for decarbonizing the industrial sector.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle explains that although there is technology available to burn hydrogen in a gas turbine, it is not widespread yet.

EI’s Jeff Rissman explains how thermal batteries can reduce energy costs since they bypass surcharges that are built into grid electricity rates.

EI’s Eric Gimon explains that “clean energy” can be useful for drawing a contrast between carbon-free energy sources and energy generated from fossil fuels, but that this term does have limits.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle explains that short-term investments by utilities should prioritize low-regrets, flexible options that avoid locking in expensive and potentially stranded assets

EI’s Jeff Rissman offers actionable insights on how we can revamp the industrial world’s heaviest emitters using cutting edge technologies and intelligent policies in his recent book, Zero Carbon Industry.

New research by EI’s Eric Gimon and Mike O’Boyle, finds that utilities can meet the increasing electricity demand without relying on the construction of new natural gas plants.
