As of early 2022, Arizona still lacks significant binding clean energy goals or transportation decarbonization measures. Western Resource Advocates (WRA) commissioned GridLab and Evolved Energy Research for a joint study to investigate the impacts of transportation electrification in Arizona. This...

In the summer of 2021, Western Resource Advocates (WRA) commissioned GridLab and Evolved Energy Research for a joint study to investigate the role of transportation electrification in economy-wide decarbonization for the state of Arizona. As of early 2022, Arizona still...

In late December 2020, as Washington State was finalizing its 2021 State Energy Strategy based on technical analysis by the Clean Energy Transition Institute and decarbonization pathways modeling by Evolved Energy Research, Oregon advocates were considering the value of a...

In order to investigate outcomes from the various pathways Montana could follow as it evolves it energy system, GridLab and 350.org commissioned Vibrant Clean Energy, LLC (VCE®) to model the Montana energy system using its flagship energy system modeling software...

The climate crisis is here. Without swift action, it will further threaten the health and livelihoods of Nevadans. Fortunately, Nevada’s leaders have recognized the urgency, passing a 50 percent renewable portfolio standard in 2019 and setting statewide greenhouse gas (GHG)...

The Colorado Legislature passed a law (HB 19-1261) in 2019 to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution 26 percent by 2025 and 50 percent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels of emissions. The state is not currently on track to meet...

Global carbon emissions must be halved by 2030 to limit warming to 1.5°C and avoid catastrophic climate impacts. Most existing studies, however, examine 2050 as the year that deep decarbonization of electric power systems can be achieved

There is growing accord that grid-forming (GFM) technology for inverter-based resources (IBRs) like wind, solar PV and battery energy storage, will be part of the future deeply decarbonized power system. GFM inverters are expected to replace and improve on some...

Inertia in power systems refers to the energy stored in large rotating generators and some industrial motors, which gives them the tendency to remain rotating. This stored energy can be particularly valuable when a large power plant fails, as it...
