When utilities procure generation through processes biased against clean energy, they get portfolios with higher consumer costs and carbon emissions. This webinar outlines how “all-source” procurement allows renewable energy that is cheaper than fossil fuels to fairly compete and meet utility needs, reducing costs and emissions, citing examples from Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, and New Mexico.
