Report
This CEG report contains new analysis evaluating the feasibility of hydrogen power plants as long-duration energy storage resources, based on cost competitiveness as well as equity and environmental impacts.
This annual impact report highlights Clean Energy Group’s key initiatives and achievements in 2024. It also recognizes the invaluable contributions of our partners—including community-based organizations, state agencies, and national laboratories—whose collaboration strengthens our mission.
A Massachusetts pilot program provides a replicable and scalable model for bringing renewable energy, battery storage, and electrification to low-income households. The Cape and Vineyard Electrification Offering (CVEO) is run by the Cape Light Compact, an energy services provider serving 210,000 customers in 21 towns on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. The CVEO pilot is…
The draft Connecticut Climate Resilient Energy code is a voluntary code intended to cover the installation of climate resilient energy systems and the provision of power to critical services during grid outages. The code covers the installation of climate resilient energy systems including solar, energy storage, and efficient heating and cooling to maintain living conditions…
Power outages can quickly turn into a health crisis for the millions of Americans that rely on electricity for home medical devices, including life-support equipment (such as dialysis machines and ventilators) and technologies for independent living (such as electric wheelchairs, refrigeration for medicine, and internet for telehealth appointments). Many electricity-dependent residents live in multifamily affordable…
This report assesses the community health impacts of a fossil fuel peaker power plant in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1990, the oil and gas-powered Pittsfield Generating Facility runs only during times of peak electricity demand, producing some of the most expensive and polluting energy on the grid. As the facility ages, its rate of pollution…
This report by Clean Energy Group (CEG) presents findings resulting from the Resilience, Storage and Grid Benefits Community of Practice, an effort through the Equitable Solar Communities of Practice program initiative by The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office.
This issue brief, released by CEG and CESA, outlines best practices and lessons learned for state policymakers and regulators engaged in developing energy storage peak demand reduction programs. The brief explores key elements of program design, such as incentive mechanisms and dispatch methods, as well as considerations for incentivizing load reduction versus power export, and peak demand reduction versus emission reduction.
This report highlights ways to address New York City’s growing electricity demand and accelerate peaker plant retirement through robust demand management solutions that harness the flexibility of customer devices, such as smart thermostats, heat pumps, electric vehicle chargers, solar, and battery storage, to reduce stress on the electric grid. The report includes best practices for…
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a national leader in clean energy policy. In recent years, it has adopted ambitious energy storage procurement targets supported by innovative policies and programs, which are entering a period of internal review. The Commonwealth also has a long-held commitment to equity in its clean energy programs. Against this backdrop, Clean…
