Local Energy Rules

Deploying local solar is a crucial step toward achieving a low-cost clean electricity grid. Individuals and communities are willing to make the investment, but they lack the information to develop projects with urgency. For this episode of the Local Energy Rules Podcast, host John Farrell is joined by Justin Baca, Vice President of Markets and Research at the Solar Energy Industries Association, and David Gahl, Executive Director of the Solar and Storage Industries Institute. They discuss how an information gap trips up small solar developers. They also explain their letter to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, which asks for more federal data collection from electric utilities and transmission operators.
