Eliminating tax credits would reduce solar and wind deployment by half, says Brattle
“A wide array of resources is needed” to meet growing electricity demand, including hundreds of gigawatts of solar and wind capacity that can be deployed quickly but would be reduced by half without tax credits, says a report prepared for ConservAmerica.
ElectricFish ultra-fast EV charging solution
The 350Squared plug-and-play power bank requires no trenching and includes AI-powered forecasting with a bi-directional electricity meter, and two ultra-fast charging ports.
Growing electricity demand creates urgent need for policy action, energy strategy
A report by American Clean Power Association calls for improved energy efficiency, an all-of-the-above strategy and rapid policy reform that will address interconnection and permitting delays.
Breaking the U.S. interconnection logjam
Experts at Intersolar & Energy Storage North America 2025 highlight key reforms to accelerate interconnection and reduce project delays.
Consumers will pay billions due to “very slow” interconnection in the PJM grid, study says
Faster interconnection of generating resources waiting in PJM’s queue, nearly all renewables, could have resulted in far lower capacity prices in PJM’s latest auction, but instead consumers will pay for PJM’s high capacity prices, says a study by Grid Strategies.
Solar-friendly policies that states can pursue to control the cost of electricity
Solar-friendly policies that include demand flexibility, advanced conductors and virtual power plants, as well as lesser-known approaches, can help control the cost of electricity, says RMI.
Who’s footing the bill for new transmission?
While the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Order 1920 could provide a step forward, many regions continue to struggle with implementing effective cost-sharing frameworks.
Higher voltage faces greater resistance
Utility-scale solar is set to crank up the voltage, preparing to shift from 1.5 kV to 2 kV on the DC side. It is a move that could redefine PV system design and slash costs, but it won’t happen globally due to vastly different regulations as voltages rise, reports Tristan Rayner.
