Passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act create new levels of demand for advanced energy and clean transportation, creating no shortage of places to invest capital. Yet, the policies and politics driving advanced energy markets remain tenuous and require industry engagement and political pressure to ensure markets enable clean energy to flourish and to allow the industry to fully realize the potential of recent federal legislation.

Between winter storms and summertime heat, the Texas power grid has been under stress. Distributed energy resources (DERs) – rooftop solar and energy-storing batteries, smart home appliances, electric vehicles, microgrids, energy efficiency measures – can help Texas respond to emergencies like natural disasters.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has been hailed as not only the most expansive piece of climate legislation ever to pass the U.S. Congress, but also a landmark piece of industrial policy. With unprecedented direct investments in advanced energy manufacturing, and incentives to spur demand for U.S.-made EVs, solar panels, batteries, and more, the Act is designed to revitalize American industry. But will it?

The clean energy transition is dramatically shifting the electric generation technologies used to meet demand and reliably operate the grid. Rapid cost declines in advanced energy technologies like wind, solar, and energy storage make them increasingly competitive choices for new generation additions, especially as fuel costs for traditional resources go up. While there has been considerable attention devoted to determining the reliability value of wind, solar, and energy storage, the methods used to evaluate the resource adequacy, or capacity value, of conventional thermal generating resources have not been formally reexamined or updated in decades.
