EI’s Mike O’Boyle says new report from Rocky Mountain Institute, which reviews historical examples of PIMs and offers eight recommendations for improving their results, is an essential read for any public utility commission working on developing these incentive mechanisms.

EI’s Sonia Aggarwal explains how falling costs for clean energy technologies have dramatically changed the economics of the clean energy transition, generating growing consensus for net zero by 2050.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci explains how plummeting renewable costs combined with smart policy design can achieve a low-carbon electricity future for the world’s largest emitter.

EI research shows municipal and cooperative utilities could exit 22.5 gigawatts of coal power in favor of solar by 2025 while saving money for their customers

EI’s Mike O’Boyle explains a new financial mechanism that enables publicly owned utilities to swap uneconomic coal assets for cleaner, cheaper solar power, while benefitting the local economy.

EI’s Bruce Nilles says the fossil gas industry is alarmed by what it sees happening in state policy and has decided to dig in for a fight rather than take a more conciliatory approach.

EI’s Sonia Aggarwal says speaking in support of clean energy at public utility commission hearings is one of the most important actions individuals can take to fight the climate crisis.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says solar for coal swaps will become increasingly attractive to municipal and cooperative utilities, as well as large corporate customers, as coal plants continue to be more expensive to operate.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle explains how “Solar for Coal” Swaps could refinance 26 GW of existing uneconomic coal plants, using private capital to fund community-level investment for publicly-owned cooperative retail utilities, while supporting local economic development.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says solar for coal swaps can offer publicly owned utilities a healthier balance sheet and cleaner, cheaper power for their customers.

EI has released a series of briefs amounting to a growing toolkit of regulatory and financial pathways toward transitioning away from uneconomic coal, including the new “Solar-for-Coal Swaps” research brief.

EI’s Chris Busch says the California-Quebec agreement proves cap-and-trade policies deliver emissions reductions along with robust economic growth.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci interviews Sherri Billimoria, lead author of Rocky Mountain Institute’s recent report, Regulatory Solutions for Building Decarbonization, about the report’s recommended regulatory reforms required for building decarbonization.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says plans for a potential Southeast Energy Exchange Market remain vague and are missing a resource adequacy or reserve-planning component.

EI report found freezing federal fuel economy and emissions standards will harm consumers who will pay more money to drive their cars the same distance.

EI’s Sonia Aggarwal explains why policy support for research and development is critical to scaling clean technologies that drive deep emissions reductions.

EI’s Megan Mahajan says we already have the technologies, but need a portfolio of policies across all sectors of the economy to meet climate targets.

EI modeling finds the Climate Crisis Action Plan would avoid 62,000 premature deaths annually by 2050 and provide nearly $8 trillion in climate and health benefits through 2050.

EI report found the U.S. could run on 90% clean electricity by 2035, without lifting the costs of electric bills, and new renewable infrastructure would generate more than half a million jobs per year.

EI’s study found that customers would save money if 74% percent of U.S. coal units were replaced with solar and wind power sited nearby.
