Senior Director w/ Acadia Center. Formerly NYSERDA-fied. Climate policy and strategy. Posts and opinions are my own.
We’ll have a statement up from @acadiacenter.bsky.social later today. Initial estimates suggest PA will miss out on ~$20B in revenues over the next 12 years by leaving RGGI. On top of billions more in foregone revenue by not participating in auctions since 2022. Huge misstep and lost opportunities.
I'm still unpacking this all, but it is perhaps even more significant that the PA budget also eliminated $300m that had previously been approved to save transit.

So in the wake of IL success and Dem-wave election PA moves backwards on electricity and transportation, increasing bills and pollution.
Ok apparently this is actually not widely known: Gov. Shapiro withdrew Pennsylvania from RGGI today as part of a deal to pass a now-4month overdue budget.

Behind-all-meter solar reduced New England grid demand 5% in 2024.

Solar power reduced New England power grid demand by 5% in 2024 - ISO Newswire
Contributions from behind-all-meters solar were equivalent to the power consumed by 600,000 homes in a year.

Reach out to and support a federal worker today. It has been an unthinkable week.

My last push to promote tomorrow's webinar on our report, THE ENERGY IS ABOUT TO SHIFT, is a gift to my fellow #basketball lovers out there. (Register for the webinar to hear more about New England's evolving grid portfolio here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Many of the siting reforms included in the new MA climate law were right in the same spirit as @acadiacenter.bsky.social's new report with CATF: "The Energy is About to Shift"

For Thanksgiving reading pleasure, #EnergySky, here's a thread unpacking the first half of the report @acadiacenter.bsky.social and CATF released yesterday. Make sure to register for the first of two webinars on the report – taking place next week on 12/5:

Does anyone on #EnergySky know if tariffs pre-NAFTA or any other period have been imposed on imports of *electricity* from Canada or Mexico? I’m guessing not since MWh are not a product in the same way as fuel commodities, but…better to be safe than sorry.
A propos some news today:

60% of US oil imports are from Canada.

"Many U.S. refineries are designed to handle heavy oils like those produced in Canada’s oil sands"

Hey #EnergySky! Are you working on siting, permitting, and community engagement around clean infrastructure? Check out @acadiacenter.bsky.social's new report out today with Clean Air Task Force, examining community-focused pathways for decarbonization in #NewEngland. Lots of good stuff to dig into!

Okay, #energysky - @acadiacenter.bsky.social is on the search for our next Director, Energy Efficiency and Building Decarbonization, to work on policy and programs in the northeast. Let’s see if you can beat LinkedIn and help us spread the word F&W!

Today, @acadiacenter.bsky.social countered a new flawed report on energy policies/costs in New England. We push back on several dubious claims, including heavily inflated cost assumptions for #energystorage in the new MA climate bill - off by 25-30x.

Huge moment for Massachusetts #climateaction with the climate bill getting over the finish line in the House today.

See our team’s statement and summary of the bill here from @acadiacenter.bsky.social:

With threats to vital federal #climate investments & #equity standards like #Justice40, regional/state programs like #RGGI may be more critical than ever. We @acadiacenter.bsky.social issued a new report on RGGI investments, including new equity data (30% in '22).
