Setting Up Q4 Showdown. Pelosi came out yesterday saying that both infrastructure and budget reconciliation have a target date in the house for October 1st. There is a fine line of whether the bipartisan infrastructure bill can pass the House as progressives argue the lack of depth in those initiatives and want the budget bill to be a package deal.
Warmer Waters, Northern Storms. It’s not secret that many people from the northeast have moved to the sunny shores of South Florida in the past year, under the guise of covid protocols and lower taxes. The climate impact, which used to make you think that Miami folks would move away, is that storms are heading farther and farther north as they chase the warming waters and away from the Florida coast. It’s been awhile since South Florida get a good storm, knock on wood, and even then our infrastructure is built for it. An era of storm resilience will need to come to the northern States now that storms will become more frequent.
DERs Are Part Of Design. A few years ago the CEO of CAISO said we need to learn to not only shape supply but shape demand. The way we used to shape it is with demand response and consumer behavior, flex alerts. Now we have demand side generation and storage that can be called upon but once again we need to figure out how to signal that behavior to match the need to the speed of integration of these resources. You can’t remove consumer incentive to invest dollars into distributed solar and storage while also making them help the grid design free of charge.

Act Now For ITC. We have an unprecedented opportunity to enact bold federal policies that decarbonize our electric grid and help us prevent the worst effects of climate change. This is a once-in-a-generation chance to build an equitable clean energy economy, and we must mobilize support for pro solar policies in infrastructure and budget legislation. There is broad, bipartisan support for solar on both sides of the aisle. Even President Biden is calling for clean energy tax credit extensions, but this does not guarantee our success. If we want to meet President Biden’s ambitious goals, we need to quadruple the size of the solar industry today. We can’t do it on our current trajectory, and we need supportive policies that drive business certainty and help us focus on deployment. Please consider signing onto SEIA’s company letter and joining their effort this summer to help us mobilize support for solar policies in budget and infrastructure legislation. The future of our clean energy economy depends on it.
