Today, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) unveils a new policy agenda that describes the critical actions that local, national and federal leaders have to take to strengthen the reliability of the American electric grid with solar and storage technologies.
While the Trump administration strives to meet the towering energy requirements of AI, data centers and new American innovation, Seia’s policy blue pressure wants to map the course to generate the electricity that the economy needs.
With solar energy and storage that the vast majority of the new electric generation capacity are added to the net, Seia’s “Solar and Storage Industry Policy Agenda for a reliable, Secure Grid” offers a blueprint for modernizing energy infrastructure, supporting the development of Battery Chains, heavily storage storage.
“The reliability of our electric grid – and the ability of America to meet future energy demand – depends on adding more solar energy and storage to the energy mix,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of SEIA. “Today, reliable cheap solar and storage is good for the vast majority of the new power generation that is being built in America. If this administration is serious about winning the AI race, we need policy makers at every level to set commonses, grid-out policy for energy prices for energy and keeping energy prices for familyers.”
The policy agenda calls for reliability-oriented policy actions at local, national and federal level, including supporting the development of domestic supply chains, the reforming of interconnection, the scaling of energy storage technology, the use of the benefits of distributed solar energy and investment in transmission infestation in transmission-infringement offers inheritance.
SEIA’s confidence policy agenda includes:
- Support for the development of domestic supply chains and traceability standards for products and components in the field of solar and energy storage
- Meeting AI’s demand benefits and data centers by creating fast fast tracks for solar and storage projects that co-attracted in fast-growing loading zones
- Reform of interconnection processes to reduce valuable delays and to get solar energy and storage on the schedule faster
- Modernization of the transmission infrastructure to expand the capacity of the grid to transfer more electricity
- Investing in long-term storage by promoting new research and implementation strategies
- Reform of wholesale market design to properly explain the value of solar energy and storage
- Reforming the State of Utility companies to evaluate solar energy and storage as capacity and energy sources that support reliability
- Stimulating Distributed Energy Resource (Der) programs, including unlocking virtual power plants to strengthen the local and bulk power network
In July Seia launched a New interest campaign from Grassroots To mobilize Americans nationally to encourage government officials to support the policy that strengthen the reliability and safety of our electric grid by investing in solar and storage.
SEIA and its members will argue in the coming months for this agenda in Statehouses and Washington, DC.
