I've worked on gas-electric issues in New England and the Pacific Northwest, but not specifically the antitrust angle. Sounds interesting!

Monday morning question for the regulatory attorneys out there: can a state regulator order a utility to procure generating resources? How about when there's a 2030 clean energy mandate at play? State statutes & caselaw will affect the analysis, but I'm curious what others think on the big picture

Myth Busting: Why Clean Energy Is Not Making Energy More Expensive One question we have been asked recently is whether the big rate hikes we have been receiving are due to Oregon’s clean energy mandates. Would we have avoided these big rate increases if we did…

A point from today's CLE that I think many people don't realize. ODOE Director Benner: "Some people have questioned whether HB 2021, the 100% clean energy bill, is driving electricity rate increases. At this time, it is not." OR's consumer advocate has said the same: oregoncub.org/news/blog/my...

In a CLE on the OR Department of Energy's Biennial Energy Report, put on by the Oregon Bar's Sustainable Future Section. Love a good Sankey diagram:

With one of Rhode Island’s largest solar energy projects online, Brown moves toward net-zero emissions Brown University is the sole off-taker for the Dry Bridge solar project in North Kingstown, a landmark renewable energy development generating enough power to offset about two-thirds of campus electri...

And good news from my old RI stomping ground too: a 40 MW solar project in North Kingstown supplying 2/3 of Brown University's electricity demand. That's a huge project for RI! Congrats to all involved. www.brown.edu/news/2024-11...

Oregon Joins California and Washington in Adopting Its Own Program Capping and Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions | Davis Wright Tremaine With Oregon's recent implementation of rules to cap greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the entire West Coast is now subject to some form of GHG emissions

Nice summary of the program here from good folks at DWT: www.dwt.com/blogs/energy...

Good news here in Oregon -- we're back on track to bring down GHG emissions from sectors beyond electricity. With Washington voters electing to maintain the Climate Commitment Act, that means caps and prices on carbon along the whole West Coast. State action FTW!
