Advanced Energy United is looking at macro trends impacting the electricity system in 2023 and beyond.
If you’re feeling like you can’t keep up with the accelerating pace of change in the energy sector, you aren’t alone. 2022 was another banner year for advanced energy and transportation. Through Advanced Energy United’s work tracking and supporting the energy transition across the country, we have identified a set of powerful, interrelated trends to keep an eye on as we move further into 2023. Some of these have been building for years and some are new on the scene, but together, they are set to fundamentally transform the energy system in the next 10 to 20 years.

As we navigate our way into a new year, our team is reflecting on the legislative wins that drove the electric vehicle (EV) industry forward at a historic pace in 2022 and considering the actions and opportunities they create in the year ahead. This year’s review of enacted federal and state legislation tells a story of increased urgency, funding, and massive commitments by governments and utilities to expand transportation electrification. To synthesize the EV action across the country, Advanced Energy United read and summarized thousands of pages of enacted legislation, which we provide now as a three-part series that covers seven dominant trends.

California Wraps Up Legislative Session Focused on Energy Reliability
Less than a week after the legislature concluded its 2022 session, California was back in the news for record-breaking heat waves and emergency energy conservation efforts that staved off power outages. This combination of extreme weather and grid strain underscored the central theme driving energy legislation at the State Capitol this year: reliability. Throughout budget and bill deliberations, policymakers grappled with the core question of how to keep the lights on under increasingly challenging conditions without compromising California’s world-renowned climate leadership or spiking consumer energy bills. What came out of the session that ended August 31 was lawmakers’ current answer, but the question is not going away.
