Federal Policy Priorities
We have a landmark opportunity to address pollution, overheating, and extreme weather through recently passed legislation. Dirty energy emits heat-trapping pollution that is contributing to irreversible damage to our planet and putting our communities at risk.
Clean energy access is a critical tool for policymakers to consider as they prioritize solutions to lower energy costs for hardworking families, protect our communities, create jobs for Americans.
CEBA’s Key Federal Priorities:
Leverage Organized Wholesale Electricity Markets for Grid Decarbonization
Improve existing and expand organized wholesale electricity markets to enable access to abundant and efficient clean energy deployment.
Decarbonize the Grid for All
Harmonize and update the existing patchwork of clean energy policies from every load-serving entity in the U.S. to enable industry stakeholders to account for their carbon impacts.
Support Innovation in Clean Energy
Fund research, development, and demonstration for promising, pre-commercial clean energy technologies and partner with the private sector to test and deploy in the market.
