Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam signed landmark legislation committing the state to closing most of its coal-fired generation by 2024 and adopting a 100% clean energy standard.

California's Energy Commission tried to electrify buildings and improve appliance efficiency by approving electrification and green energy ordinances.

Speakers at the ACORE Policy Forum said messaging for action to address climate change should emphasize the economic benefits of clean energy industries.

Carbon pricing's time may be nearing, but it won’t solve the climate crisis by itself or persuade states to abandon clean energy policies, speakers said.

A PJM task force considering carbon pricing continued its education sessions with an analysis on the impact of Virginia and Pennsylvania joining RGGI.

BloombergNEF’s energy trends report looks back over the decade, in which "the U.S. fundamentally overhauled how it produces, delivers and consumes" energy.

Testifiers told a Pennsylvania legislative panel joining RGGI undermines the state’s energy production dominance and does not accelerate CO2 emissions.

Among provisions in a draft bill released by House Democrats, intended to reduce emissions by 2050, is a requirement for utilities to join an ISO or RTO.

ISO-NE is incorporating stakeholder comments and questions from last month's PAC meeting as it works to complete its 2019 Economic Study in stages.

A PJM official urged officials to embrace carbon pricing rather than exit the capacity market in response to FERC expanding the minimum offer price rule.
