Advanced Energy United Reports

"Modeling Low Cost Approaches to Clean Power Plan Compliance for Pennsylvania" shows that implementing EPA's Clean Power Plan need not raise electricity costs in Pennsylvania but rather may provide savings for ratepayers compared to projected energy costs in 2030. Those are the findings of multiple scenarios run through STEER, a new analytic tool developed for the Advanced Energy Economy Institute and applied to Pennsylvania-specific data.

Demand for electricity can spike during just a few hours a year, and typically 10 percent of our electric system capacity is built to meet demand in just 1 percent of hours during the year. This comes at a significant cost to consumers.

This report, prepared for AEE by Navigant Consulting, evaluates the benefits and costs of reducing peak demand in two states, Illinois and Massachusetts, and the feasibility of utilities to procure the resources to meet demand reduction goals over 10 years.

In July, 2015, AEE submitted comments to the Legislature and Governor's office on proposed changes to the use of Cap & Trade auction revenues that would leverage private sector funds to further expand investments in GHG-reducing technologies and programs.

Advanced energy is a booming industry in Florida, bringing in revenues of $6.2 billion in 2014 – more than international agricultural exports from the Sunshine State ($4.2 billion).

AEE commissioned Navigant Research to prepare this first-ever analysis of the advanced energy industry in Florida, which includes market size, key trends, and profiles of companies already working in the state.

This report, prepared by Meister Consultants Group for the Advanced Energy Economy Institute and the Virginia Advanced Energy Industries Coalition, analyzes two possible scenarios for Virginia’s compliance with the U.S. EPA’s Clean Power Plan to reduce carbon emissions from the electric power sector.
