Research by EI’s Robbie Orvis is cited in an article discussing FERC’s review of DOE’s proposed cost-recovery rule for coal and nuclear power.

EI’s Eric Gimon is quoted in an article discussing how wind energy is continuing to push coal power offline in U.S. electricity markets due to declining costs despite the Clean Power Plan’s repeal.

EVs are accelerating across America, but they won’t reach their potential unless utilities can build sufficient charging infrastructure. A new Rocky Mountain Institute report lays out a suite of policies for regulators to help utilities move from gas to grid.

Many states are considering a utility regulatory structure that incentivizes efficient fleet turnover, incorporates clean energy and other cost-effective technologies, and stimulates smarter build-or-buy decisions. EI’s Sonia Aggarwal says the UK’s effort to combine utility operating and capital expenses into a capped revenue bucket shows promising early results.

EI CEO Hal Harvey says U.S. DOE Secretary Rick Perry’s proposal to subsidize coal and nuclear plants would wreck America’s power grid without creating any benefits.

EI’s Sonia Aggarwal says after severe hurricanes damaged Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico, utilities have an imperative to rebuild with grid modernization in mind.

EI’s Robbie Orvis and Mike O’Boyle are quoted in an article examining the threat DOE’s proposal to subsidize fossil fuels poses to U.S. power markets.

EI’s Chris Busch is quoted in an article discussing a California lawmaker’s proposal to ban new fossil fuel-powered car sales by 2040.

EI analysts say the U.S. Department of Energy’s newly proposed cost recovery for fuel-secure generators would spike power costs and emissions with little upside for consumers.

EI’s Energy Policy Simulator forecast that electric vehicles will compose 65%-75% of total new US car sales to 2050 is profiled by CleanTechnica.

EI’s Robbie Orvis and Mike O’Boyle are interviewed in an article exploring how DOE’s proposal to value coal and nuclear would harm wholesale power markets.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle is quoted in an article exploring how DOE’s request for coal and nuclear subsidies could affect renewable energy.

Inaccurate solar energy forecasts severely underestimate growth, creating billions in risks for developers, governments, and utilities. But one simple data extrapolation method improves forecasts to predict much faster growth rate – and a “peak solar” installation point at 2028-2030.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle is quoted in an article discussing Energy Department efforts to subsidize coal and nuclear generation in organized electricity markets.
