White House Moves to Boost Renewables, Energy Storage
EDF statement from Jim Marston, Vice President, US Climate and Energy
The White House issued over 30 executive actions and private-sector commitments yesterday to accelerate the grid integration of renewable energy and storage. Together, these announcements are expected to result in at least 1.3 gigawatts of additional energy storage procurement or deployment over the next five years and potentially lead to $1 billion in investments.
“From solar and wind to smart energy storage and management, we have the technology to transform our country’s energy system in ways that cut pollution, save money, create local jobs, and improve quality of life. This effort is yet another great example of the Obama Administration’s continued clean energy leadership. Smart, forward-thinking policy decisions and investments like these will deliver tremendous benefits to Americans, businesses, and the environment.”
