Late on August 23, the U.S. Department of Energy released its long-anticipated Staff Report to the Secretary on Electricity Markets and Reliability. Coverage in the New York Times included perspective from AEE's CEO Graham Richard. From the article:
“This report seriously overstates the challenges associated with new energy resources,” said Graham Richard, chief executive of Advanced Energy Economy, a coalition of clean-energy companies. He noted that new technologies like battery storage and distributed solar power “are helping to make the electric power system more flexible, reliable, and resilient.”
