Future clean energy investments stalled by outdated national electricity market
Clean Energy Investor Group research finds the national electricity market is an outdated design – built for an era of coal and gas – and hinders investment in modern large-scale energy projects like wind, solar, and batteries.
Future energy systems must compensate rooftop solar generation fairly
The most important energy cost is not what a corporation pays to produce or generate it, but what a consumer pays to buy it. That’s why the delivered cost of rooftop solar and batteries – and the other benefits these technologies provide to the system – need to be factored in when making investment decisions.
