With the November 2024 federal election in the rearview mirror, Advanced Energy United's webinar uncovered the pivotal ways the outcome, from the White House to the state house, will influence the clean energy transition where it’s happening: in the states.

2024 has been a monumental year for electrification and efficiency policies and market developments. From the passage of ground-breaking bills in Washington, Colorado, and California testing out new approaches to gas utility modernization, state energy offices considering how to weave equity and energy efficiency considerations into Inflation Reduction Act programs, and the development of “non-pipeline alternatives” (NPAs) frameworks as a key regulatory tool for the energy transition, it’s clear that clean, affordable, reliable and resilient buildings are on the minds of state leaders across the country.

Virtual power plants (VPPs) — collections of customer-sited energy resources aggregated together and coordinated with grid operations — can provide the same or even superior reliability and value to the grid as traditional power plants. As utilities face rising peak load, energy affordability concerns, and increasingly complex reliability needs, VPPs offer a solution by leveraging customer-facing distributed energy resources (DERs) – including smart thermostats, battery storage, EV charging, smart water heaters, and others – to address key grid challenges.

Proposals for new energy projects across the country are stuck waiting for a long and cumbersome process known as “generator interconnection” to play out so they can connect to the power grid and start delivering electricity to homes and businesses. Unfortunately, despite recent reform efforts, the current interconnection process remains unnecessarily slow and expensive, ultimately jeopardizing reliability and costing consumers more money.

Across the country, there is increasing pressure to accelerate the building of new clean energy resources driven by increased domestic manufacturing, more electrification of both transportation and buildings, new data centers, retiring power plants, and bold clean energy goals. However, despite the availability of incentives and demand to do so, many large-scale wind, solar, and battery storage projects are being stalled or blocked by red tape, and in several states, localities are banning the building of new clean energy projects altogether. Where states should be encouraging new construction to ensure grid reliability and spur economic growth, we see outdated, inconsistent, or unnecessarily complex laws and regulations standing in the way.
