States and regulators across the U.S. are expanding clean heat programs to lower building-sector emissions while reducing long-term energy costs.
Long-term resource plans of electric utilities across the U.S. reflect the growing role of energy storage in integrated resource planning, with multi-gigawatt portfolios designed to support grid reliability, manage rapid load growth, and complement solar and wind resources.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy on Nov. 6 announced the release of a comprehensive roadmap outlining strategies to decarbonize the state’s building sector, which represents the second-largest source of emissions. The plan, developed under Executive Order 316 signed in 2023, provides a policy and regulatory framework to electrify 400,000 residential and 20,000 commercial units by…...
New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Nov. 4 announced that state electricity consumers will receive $151 million in energy bill savings in 2026 through benefits generated under the Zero-Emissions Credits program.
