Our State Energy Work
Energy Is the
Constraint on Growth.
Prosperity is energy intensive, and deployment is the bottleneck. The next decade of American growth depends on whether states can bring enough power online fast enough to meet demand. Some states have cleared permitting backlogs and rewritten interconnection rules; others are working off out-dated statutes written before technological development.
Abundance Institute's state energy work exists to close the gap between good policy ideas and state implementation. We translate research into model legislation, connect legislators to the states that have already solved the problem in front of them, and provide the resources for good energy policy so you don't have to start from scratch.
Where We Focus
Five state-policy levers for producing, connecting, buying, and managing more reliable energy.
