Forthcoming report! Heat pumps are systematically overpaying for the electricity they use. A new “heat pump-friendly” rate under consideration in MA would fix that imbalance, helping heat pumps beat natural gas on operating costs for most households. Report drops next Tue the 22nd, RSVP for webinar!

Our energy modeling lead, Bryan Murray, studies electrical grid controls…in Spain! He needs to get something off his chest about the #blackout last week: PV & batteries did not cause the Iberian blackout. In fact they will be more crucial for grid stability going forward. Here's why #energysky (1/9)

Our latest report asks a simple question: What if, instead of spending billions replacing aging gas pipes, utilities helped nearby homes switch to electric heating? The data shows this would often cost less, lower utility bills, AND cut pollution.Full report: switch.box/lpp Let's break it down: 1/6

Our most recent report on NY's forthcoming Cap-and-Invest program was covered by Politico, along with another excellent study by @rff.org and @nycejalliance.bsky.social that reached similar conclusions about the transformative potential of putting a price on carbon in New York State. #energysky

POLITICO Pro: Most New York households would benefit from higher cap-and-invest prices, reports say
Two reports backed by environmental advocates found distributing money raised from a cap-and-trade program would leave households better off.
