Virtual Power Plants: The Key to Securing America’s Energy Future
Virtual power plants (VPPs), which include technologies like local solar and storage, can be part of the solution for a more cost-effective and reliable grid for the future.
LS4A Report: Michigan Needs People-Focused Energy Strategies to Improve Electric Grid & Keep Energy Affordable
Michigan Legislature Must Act to leverage federal dollars and remove barriers
Looking for Our Energy Independence Day: Setting ourselves free from the grid
The more clean energy you can generate at home and in your community, the more energy independent you are. And, the more energy independent the United States will be.
Hot EPA Summer: New Competitive Grants Almost Here
Once in a generation opportunity to put the U.S. on track to catalyze long-term scalable and sustainable rooftop and community solar programs in low-income and disadvantaged communities across the country.
LS4A Celebrates Solar Tariff Bill Veto
“Mainstream local solar adoption unlocks the lowest-cost path to achieving 100% clean energy, and reducing total grid costs. Solar is accessible to communities of all income levels when the products are available and affordable. We thank the Biden Administration for its continued commitment to expand solar deployment and domestic solar manufacturing, and their commitment to enhance access to locally-generated clean energy for all.”
LS4A Criticizes House Vote to Reinstate Solar Tariffs
“Access is the major barrier to local solar energy adoption, especially in economically challenged areas. If local solar is to be truly accessible for all, then Congress needs to address existing barriers instead of standing up new ones. The Auxin solar tariffs are bad policy, and President Biden's decision to issue a 2-year reprieve last year was a much-needed market correction.”
New Report Reveals the Staggering Economic Cost of Michigan's Unreliable Electric Grid
Local Solar for All released research which highlights the devastating economic impact of Michigan's unreliable electric grid. The report, based on data from the federal government and annual reports from the advocacy group Citizens Utility Board of Michigan, outlines the grid’s deteriorating reliability performance and uses it to estimate the economic burden that households and businesses now shoulder.
Robin Dutta to Lead Local Solar for All
Local Solar for All (LS4A), a coalition of rooftop solar and community solar organizations, announced today that it has appointed a new Campaign Director, Robin Dutta. Focused on creating a modern and equitable distributed energy grid, LS4A works to amplify the benefits of smaller, distributed energy resources that produce power closer to the homes and communities where it's being used.
President Biden Signs Historic Climate Legislation Into Law, Paving the Way for Local Solar Expansion
We thank President Biden for leading the charge to enact the most comprehensive climate policy in American history that will advance unprecedented clean energy investments to not only lower energy costs for American families and businesses but also reduce carbon pollution by 40 percent before the end of the decade.
Local Solar For All Applauds Climate Provisions in The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
“The news out of the United States Senate is nothing short of historic and represents the most significant federal clean energy policy advancement to date. The Inflation Reduction Act makes unprecedented investments in clean energy deployment and manufacturing and will cement certainty for an industry that produces, clean, reliable, affordable energy made right here at home.”
Local Solar for All Welcomes President Biden’s Decision to Waive Solar Tariffs for Two Years and Spur Domestic Solar Manufacturing
We thank President Biden for taking executive action to address the dwindling supply of solar panels, which poses a significant threat to the future of distributed generation in our country.
USDOC Investigation Will Skyrocket Cost of Solar Panels, Delay Installations and Force 70,000 Furloughs
Setting high tariffs on solar imports will stall efforts to achieve energy independence and deter Americans from adopting clean, renewable energy like local solar.
Local Solar Advocates Call for Boosting Distributed Solar and Energy Storage to Provide Energy Security
“The war in Ukraine, and its impact on energy supplies and prices, provides a stark reminder of the urgent need to transition to clean and distributed energy options that are resilient to disruption by geopolitical conflict or price shocks.”
