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.

EI’s Robbie Orvis is featured in a PV Magazine article exploring how turmoil in U.S. wholesale power markets could affect the solar industry.

Rumors of the “utility death spiral” abound, but they have been greatly exaggerated. Three major opportunities – new utility regulations and business models, electric vehicle growth, and grid modernization efforts – mean utilities can beat their death spiral prognosis.

New Energy Innovation research forecasts EVs will reach at least 65% and up to 75% of new light-duty vehicle sales by 2050, and determines how battery prices, the cost of oil, and fuel economy standards will drive EV adoption in the U.S.

EI’s Sonia Aggarwal is quoted in The Guardian discussing how California’s record-setting battery installation after Aliso Canyon could be a turning point for energy storage.

New Energy Policy Simulator research predicts EVs will reach 65% of new light-duty vehicle sales by 2050, and could hit 75% by 2050 with high oil prices or battery cost declines. The forecast covers market share expansion, penetration levels along with effects of battery prices, oil prices, and government policy support.

EI CEO Hal Harvey suggests “Buy Clean” legislation could be California’s next opportunity to lead on climate change policy.

EI’s Robbie Orvis is featured in an interview about the future of energy policy, renewable electricity, and climate change.

The nature of electricity as central to modern life and comfort can hardly be disputed—and so its distribution at a reasonable cost is an essential public policy goal of any society. Electric utilities are the engine for that goal, but that engine is in danger of breaking down under the weight of transition.

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma show how increasingly extreme weather means the U.S. needs a stronger and more resilient grid with more distributed energy resources. Fortunately, energy storage’s rapid cost declines and record-setting installations are doing just that.

Analysis by America’s Power Plan is cited in a Vox article discussing the role utility regulation plays in slowing modernization and decarbonization efforts.
