EI’s Sonia Aggarwal says it is technologically and economically feasible to reach 90 percent clean energy by 2035 without raising customer costs, but policy is necessary to achieve a more rapid rate of clean energy deployment.

EI’s Sarah Spengeman explains new modeling using the Minnesota Energy Policy Simulator that finds Minnesota is not on track to achieve climate goals, but a strategic set of climate and clean energy policies would align the state with a 1.5º target and add 39,000 jobs and $11 billion to the state’s economy per year in 2050.

EI’s Eric Gimon explains the energy markets cascade, a new concept showing how wholesale markets can be designed to support long-term investment in variable renewables and complementary resources through better risk management tools.

EI report shows California’s existing climate policies will achieve reductions that are deep, but not deep enough to push emissions below the 2030 goal without further policy action.

EI’s 2035 Report shows a national clean energy standard of 90 percent clean electricity by 2035 would create jobs and reliably generate electricity without increasing customer costs.

EI study shows if we wait until 2030 to get serious about fixing our climate, it will cost 72% more than if we tackle the challenge today.

EI’s Megan Mahajan says to meet climate goals, it is imperative to start climate action today and quickly transition to electric vehicles and building components, because polluting equipment sold today will last for decades.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says because electricity markets are not always responsive to the economics of coal, policy could accelerate retirements by 2030.

EI report finds the infrastructure build-out to reach 90 percent clean electricity by 2035 would put about $1.7 trillion dollars in investment to use over the next 15 years, supporting about 530,000 more jobs each year, but requires a political transformation as much as a technical one.

EI’s 2035 study shows systemic decarbonization of the electricity sector is feasible while keeping electricity reliable and affordable.

EI’s Sonia Aggarwal has been appointed senior adviser for climate policy and innovation for the Biden administration.

EI’s Sonia Aggarwal, along with other experienced climate change experts, has been appointed to the new White House climate office, which will be headed by former EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle shares power sector trends to watch in 2021 including the proposal for a Southeast Energy Market Exchange, resource adequacy planning challenges in California, and the continued financial impacts of COVID-19 on utilities.

EI’s Eric Gimon says we are moving into a new era of big battery storage projects, and grid operators and regulators are still figuring out how this rapid change will affect electricity prices and the way various power producers work together.

EI’s Anand Gopal explains the clean energy transition cannot happen fast enough to avert the worst impacts of climate change without supportive policies.

EI’s Dan Esposito explains why the cost of renewable energy and electrolyzers is essential to green hydrogen’s future.

EI’s Anand Gopal explains the Biden administration can still meet the country’s climate targets without the Build Back Better Act, but it will much more difficult.

EI’s Megan Mahajan explains the Build Back Better Act is the most ambitious climate legislation in U.S. history.

EI’s Anand Gopal explains the remaining emission reduction options the Biden administration has should the Build Back Better Act fail.

EI’s Megan Mahajan explains that policies that spur consumers to transition away from fossil fuels will save them money by eliminating their exposure to fuel price volatility.
