SOLAR POWER EXPANSION

September 26, 2018

Solar energy harnesses the sun’s rays and turns them into useful energy. There are two main ways in which this is done photovoltaic (PV), which is the conversion of light into energy, or thermal, which is energy created by heat. PV is the more common of the two and can be recognized on a small scale as the panels used on household roofs to capture the sun’s light.

Electricity Resource Compensation Under a Net Zero Future

whitePaper | September 15, 2022

Over the past decade, state governments, local municipalities, and large corporations have increased momentum for the adoption of net zero carbon policies, and with the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022 that will provide hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in clean energy, that net zero carbon future now looks more achievable. E3 has been at the forefront of analyzing possible decarbonization pathways across North America. While there are multiple potential pathways on the road to net zero, it will ultimately result in a fundamental shift over time from an era of dominated by fossil fuel generation resources to one dominated by renewables, energy storage, and demand-side resources. This will result in a major transformation in how electricity markets function.
