Advanced Energy United Webinars

Public utility commissions regulate over $100 billion in energy investments each year. It pays to know the who, what, when, where, and why of state energy policy. The problem is there are 50 different PUC websites, making it nearly impossible to identify and manage energy policy.

Analysis Group's Susan Tierney and Paul Hibbard presented findings from their report on market forces driving our changing electric power system, commissioned by AEE and AWEA and submitted to DOE to inform the Department's upcoming review of grid issues.

AEE's Arvin Ganesan and Davis Wright Tremaine's Glenn Benson provide an overview of the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), a 1970s-era law that drives procurement of certain types of advanced energy generation. Congress along with FERC are considering changes to this law and related regulations that could positively or adversely affect development of such generation projects.

At the state level, AEE is focused on expanding corporate access to advanced energy to make it easier for companies to control their energy costs and meet corporate sustainability goals. Working with both purchasers and developers, AEE is focused on removing barriers and creating new purchasing pathways for companies both large and small.

Whatever might be happening at the federal level, states are taking the lead in creating markets for advanced energy. AEE's State Policy Program seeks to maintain this momentum by working with our coalition of State and Regional Partners and our business members to promote advanced energy legislation in statehouses around the nation.
