States Advancing Solar
CEG has been chosen by the DOE's Solar America Initiative State Solar Technical Outreach project as one of three groups to provide solar technology information and poilicy best practices to key decision makers such as state legislators, public utility commissioners and clean energy fund administrators. See the project website at www.statesadvancingsolar.org
State-Federal RPS Collaborative
The primary purpose of the State-Federal RPS Collaborative is to establish a national dialogue and collaborative among state policy leaders, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other major RPS stakeholders to share information and examine opportunities for multi-state and federal cooperation in successful deployment of RPS programs. The Collaborative is being funded by the Energy Foundation and the U.S. DOE through the National Renewable Energy Lab. The Collaborative will work to identify and address the specific challenges, lessons learned, and solutions to ensure effective RPS implementation by states across the country. It is anticipated that the Collaborative will result in a set of agreements, best practices, and program recommendations that could be used by the states and Congress to improve RPS markets, ensure constructive federal engagement, and fruitfully guide states toward informed RPS design and implementation.

“This report, written by the Clean Energy Group, looks at the energy industry from a disruptive point of view. If the natural process of disruption is allowed to proceed, it would bring about change that would produce critical social, economic, and environmental benefits…I hope this report helps you frame the key issues in a unique and powerful way.”

Energy Initiative Report, August
2003 (3.9 MB PDF).
This report follows an investigation initiated the Rockefeller Brothers
Fund, Surdna Foundation, and Oak Foundation designed to explore new models
for clean energy investment among foundations, public funds and private
investors. The Clean Energy Group worked together with E+Co
and The Reinvestment Fund
to undertake an investigation and draft a report about the opportunities
presented by the initiative.
