Clean energy resources

Power grid

• Saving energy with demand response

  Demand response is a voluntary, cost-effective tool that relies on people and technology, not power plants, to meet electrical demand.

• Data access paves the way for cleaner air

  The smart, interconnected grid of the future is within reach – but customers and entrepreneurs must first have easy, secure, and meaningful access to energy data.

• Pecan Street: Neighborhood of the future

  EDF partnered with Austin Energy, the City of Austin, and the University of Texas to found Pecan Street Inc., a living smart grid lab that monitors energy use of more than 1,000 residents.

Financing and business models

• Unleashing private capital

  Billions of dollars need to be invested in clean energy each year in order to avoid the most severe consequences of climate change – and private capital plays a very important role.

• Utility 2.0: Spurring the clean energy paradigm shift

  We need a new model that empowers businesses and families to take control of their electricity use and reduce harmful pollution.

Regional projects

• Ohio: The FirstEnergy bailout

  FirstEnergy’s finances, emissions and efforts to kill the burgeoning clean energy industry are all bad news.

• Chicago: Smart approach to smart buildings

  A new pilot program will demonstrate how energy-use data can transform the efficiency of Chicago buildings, with the potential to cut harmful pollution and save businesses money.

• Texas: Clean energy economy

  Texas may be known as an oil and gas juggernaut, but the state is actually at the forefront of a new frontier: the clean energy economy.
