US solar installations jump 49% in third quarter, report says reut.rs/4913coH reut.rs/4913coH

CA is overpaying for energy by keeping gas peaker plants open. Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) is the best alternative, delivering clean, affordable power—but it will run out of funds this year. Keep the lights on w/DSGS! @ilike_mike @CAgovernor @CASpeakerRivas

“The bill being sent to the President’s desk today is a significant step backwards for our nation’s energy economy at a time when we can least afford it.” — @HopperAbby SEIA’s statement on the passage of the reconciliation bill: seia.org/news/solar-and…

BREAKING: The House's reconciliation bill would dismantle the most successful industrial onshoring effort in U.S. history, SEIA analysis find. ❌287 factories ❌292,000 jobs ❌145 TWh of generation Read SEIA's new analysis: underthreat.seia.org/threat/

In today’s @latimes: My column on hiking in Chuckwalla National Monument, which was established by Joe Biden last month and strikes a great balance between protecting public lands and allowing for solar development. Please give it a read: latimes.com/environment/ne…

This is wild. In 2022, utilities expected electricity demand to grow by 23 GW over the next 5 years. In 2023, they upped that to 39 GW (which was at the time shocking). This year, they are projecting *128 GW* of new demand. We are not ready for this kind of growth.

In California, solar developers aren't getting an Inflation Reduction Act-related tax break they're getting in other states. They're hoping Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature will change that before the end of the month: politico.com/newsletters/ca…

“I’m not gonna never let the world forget about my son.” - Michael Brown Sr. On the 10th anniversary of a #Ferguson police officer killing Mike Brown Jr., his family is leading a unity walk to remember his life and the global movement it launched.

New peer-reviewed research proves out what advocates have been saying: Community solar actually makes renewable energy way more accessible to people who live in apartments, to renters, and to lower-income individuals: canarymedia.com/articles/energ… via @AlisonTakemura

So why isn't this happening? "The disappointing answer is that the utility business model doesn’t deal well with tools that reduce demand, largely because utilities make money by selling electricity and building infrastructure."

Last Thursday, SEIA celebrated our 50th anniversary and a half century of #solar and #storage progress at the #GoldenGala ✨ Thank you to our sponsors, partners, and guests for helping make this milestone celebration a success. Cheers to the next 50 years!

Once again, @californiapuc is advancing the interests of monopoly utilities over what's best for ratepayers, the environment, and the economy. Read SEIA's statement from @DoyleSE111 on the CPUC's recent community solar decision: seia.org/news/cpuc-cont…

The 3-1 vote by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s appointees was the latest stain on the his climate record — and a reminder, as we shatter temperature records, that it’s easier to talk about the urgency of the crisis than it is to act with urgency. Read @Sammy_Roth latimes.com/environment/ne…

@BerkeleyLabEMP has new data on California's topsy-turvy residential rooftop solar market since regulators slashed net-metering values last year. Long story short — more batteries, but fewer total solar installs under the new net-billing regime: canarymedia.com/articles/solar…

Last week, @CaliforniaPUC finalized new fixed charges for CA residents. Read more from SEIA's California state affairs director @DoyleSE111: apnews.com/article/califo…

What’s up, Gavin Newsom? California’s climate champion governor keeps delaying — and may even kill — a great climate solution opposed by a monopoly utility company. Meanwhile, Earth just finished its 11th straight record hot month. My @latimes column: latimes.com/environment/ne…
