States across the U.S. are taking diverse steps to expand or adjust their community solar policies, reflecting a changing energy landscape. Recent actions include expanding solar access for underserved communities, modernizing regulations to drive innovation, and ensuring affordability to protect non-participants from bearing undue costs.
Across the U.S., a growing number of states are exploring market-based strategies to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels. This reflects a broader trend toward the development of clean fuel programs aimed to reduce transportation sector emissions and incentivize the production of low-carbon and renewable alternatives.

Utility regulators in several U.S. states are stepping up efforts to plan for the future of natural gas as decarbonization and electrification efforts take hold. New initiatives are exploring regulatory strategies to assess long-term gas system needs, manage stranded asset risks, and align utility planning with state climate targets.
Recent actions across U.S. states reflect the growth of virtual power plant (VPP) initiatives, as utilities and regulators evaluate aggregated customer-sited assets to manage peak demand, enhance reliability, and reduce system costs. States are moving forward with new pilots, incentive programs, and regulatory structures that support the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into grid operations and long-term planning.
