An increasing number of national, state and local government leaders recognize that rapidly decarbonizing the electricity grid is necessary to slow the disruptive effects of a changing climate. At the same time, our lives and livelihoods have never been more… View Summary +
The rapid and parallel growth in both variable electricity production from wind and solar, and in large inherently flexible loads (such as electric vehicles and heat pumps) presents an opportunity to ensure that each transition is both reliable and affordable. View Summary +
A growing number of states have considered reforms to their net metering practices in recent years, a period of decreasing prices for distributed energy resources, rapid changes in technology and evolution of the electricity system. Depending on its… View Summary +
In a roundtable webinar discussion, a panel of experts representing varying perspectives — a vertically integrated utility, a restructured distribution utility and a community choice aggregator — discussed what demand- and supply-side resource portfolio procurement looks like for each of… View Summary +

Net metering with monthly netting — a simple billing mechanism for distributed energy resources (DERs), often primarily solar PV — has existed since the early 1980s. In recent years, there has been a wide-ranging national debate about the best methods… View Summary +
If the video is not visible, please accept all cookies to enable the player. Regulators have been thinking for decades about how competition can support an energy resource mix that best aligns with the public interest. Now, the landscape… View Summary +
In an interactive webinar presentation, panelists discussed a “next-generation” approach to utility procurement and evolving best practices, based in part on recent work done by RAP and RMI. The webinar offered recommendations on how to design clear rules… View Summary +
Utility regulators, whether they be veterans or new to the job, are often eager to make a positive impact on the transformation of the electric sector by addressing such areas as distributed generation and storage, electric vehicles (EVs) and carbon… View Summary +
Three trends in the power sector are converging to drive rapid and unprecedented change. State and utility climate goals are driving significant investment in clean energy. Fossil-fueled generation is aging and retiring at the same time that renewable energy and… View Summary +
