Forthcoming report! Heat pumps are systematically overpaying for the electricity they use. A new “heat pump-friendly” rate under consideration in MA would fix that imbalance, helping heat pumps beat natural gas on operating costs for most households. Report drops next Tue the 22nd, RSVP for webinar!

Our energy modeling lead, Bryan Murray, studies electrical grid controls…in Spain! He needs to get something off his chest about the #blackout last week: PV & batteries did not cause the Iberian blackout. In fact they will be more crucial for grid stability going forward. Here's why #energysky (1/9)

New York continues to spend billions on outdated gas infrastructure.

A new @switch.box report shows targeted electrification is a smarter, cheaper path— the NY HEAT Act can make it happen.

Our latest report asks a simple question: What if, instead of spending billions replacing aging gas pipes, utilities helped nearby homes switch to electric heating? The data shows this would often cost less, lower utility bills, AND cut pollution.Full report: switch.box/lpp Let's break it down: 1/6

Our most recent report on NY's forthcoming Cap-and-Invest program was covered by Politico, along with another excellent study by @rff.org and @nycejalliance.bsky.social that reached similar conclusions about the transformative potential of putting a price on carbon in New York State. #energysky

New York is preparing to launch a Cap-and-Invest (C&I) program that could be transformative for the state, catalyzing an economy-wide shift to clean energy, while raising billions of # a year to invest in decarbonization projects—according to a report we dropped just this morning. 1/4 🔌💡#climatesky
