REMINDER: Join us THURSDAY, 1/25, at 9 a.m. ET to get insights from new modeling on how the US energy transition could be affected by the Inflation Reduction Act, proposed EPA rules, and cost increases. https://duke.is/jan25epusa In this webinar, Martin Ross, senior research economist at the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability, will discuss key findings from a recent Energy Pathways USA report. The report models the intersecting effects of the Inflation Reduction Act, clean electricity development cost increases, and the impacts of proposed US Environmental Protection Agency greenhouse gas regulations for fossil fuels. Energy Pathways USA is accelerating progress toward a net-zero carbon future by developing workable solutions with partners across multiple key industries. It is convened by the Nicholas Institute at Duke University in collaboration with the Energy Transitions Commission.

Our Energy and Climate Committee advises and guides the Board’s efforts to champion the Region’s net zero economy and develop cleantech solutions for local innovators. The committee recently held its first meeting of the year to discuss pain points in the permitting process for #energyinfrastructure projects and the federal government’s progress towards implementing clean economy Investment Tax Credits (ITC) for businesses.  Our region faces intense competition for #cleaneconomy investments. The US has introduced ambitious incentives, and these ITCs will be key for maintaining our competitiveness. Although these incentives have been announced, they are not yet fully accessible to investors – but once implemented, ITCs will play a critical role in supporting investment in our region.  In 2024, we’ll be hosting additional committee meetings to engage directly with our members on relevant issues and receive their guidance on initiatives to help solve them.

This fall must bring significant policy adjustments to the EU's energy transition process. These changes will define both the level of ambition and the feasibility of implementation over the next five years. At the Centre on Regulation in Europe (CERRE), we examined the ambitions for a fast-paced, orderly, and equitable twin transition. Key elements in the energy and climate sectors include a resilient and upgraded infrastructure, fair and efficient carbon and energy markets, and appropriate institutional and governance frameworks to support net-zero objectives. 📝 Check out our 2024-2029 Ambitions White Paper summary below. 🖌️ Full paper with additional details and the evaluation of the 2019-2024 progress, available here: https://lnkd.in/drs-EQVV #energytransition #EUcommission #energygrids #energymarkets

BPA has issued $76 million in green-certified revenue bonds to fund key transmission projects. These projects will enhance grid reliability, support electrification, and connect new carbon-free energy resources in the Pacific Northwest. “These green certified bonds are attractive to investors looking to fund projects that are helping to address the impacts of climate change,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Marcus Harris. “Anything we can do to lower interest costs for ratepayers is worth pursuing, and this green bond certification is no exception.” The bonds are certified green by the Climate Bonds Standard Board. https://lnkd.in/gmdB_uB2 #CleanEnergy #CleanEnergyFuture #GreenBonds #RenewableEnergy
