“North Carolina’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (REPS) has saved money for consumers and made North Carolina a national leader in solar energy development,” said Graham Richard, CEO of Advanced Energy Economy, a national business association representing a wide range of energy technologies that are secure, clean, and affordable. “This is no time to pull the plug on energy efficiency and renewable energy in North Carolina. AEE stands with its member companies that have invested in this state, and with our state partner, the North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association, in opposing this job-killing bill. ”

Under Clean Power Plan, Utilizing Market-Based Credit Trading Would Allow Power Plant Owners To Meet Targets through Advanced Energy Measures that Reduce Emissions at Low Costs in States Where EPA Imposes a Federal Plan

Flawed Assumptions Distort Modeling of Impact, Raising Unfounded Reliability Concerns

“Today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s authority to set rules for demand response in energy markets is to be applauded,” said Malcolm Woolf, Senior Vice President for Policy and Government Affairs for Advanced Energy Economy (AEE), a national business organization. “Demand response is a vital service that allows grid operators to relieve stress on the U.S. electric power system at times of peak demand. Under FERC’s rules, demand response has matured into a major industry that helps keep the lights on during critical events such as the polar vortex and saves consumers billions of dollars annually. We hope and expect that the high court will reverse the Appeals Court ruling and restore FERC’s authority over this important tool for reducing energy bills and enhancing grid reliability for American businesses and consumers alike.”
