What challenges will confront DOE loan program for energy retrofits?
Jeff St John's article covers a lot of territory and is highly informative. While he mentions the substantial benefits of reconductoring the existing grid with Advanced Conductors (like ACCC Conductor), he points out that - under current policy - many utilities hesitate to make "small" investments when they get greater return for making "bigger" investments. Hopefully the URGENCY suggested in the new bills will encourage Utilities to leap forward and use modern technologies to build a modern grid to help reach decarbonization goals as cost-effectively and quickly as possible. Enjoy the read.
What challenges will confront DOE loan program for energy retrofits?
The Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment Program, authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act, enables the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office to make up to $250 billion in loans to companies for qualified projects. The program holds enormous potential to remake the U.S. energy landscape — but in many cases, it won’t be simple.
