Clean Power On the Hill gives ACP members the opportunity visit Washington, D.C. to share their lived experiences in personal meetings with Members of Congress and their staff. Clean Power on the Hill attendees will participate in advocacy training on April 9 and then put that training to work to educate legislators and their staff on the clean power industry’s top policy initiatives at the federal level.

Through engaging discussions, attendees will learn best practices for stakeholder engagement, community outreach, and fostering transparency and trust. The discussion will also cover emerging technologies and innovative approaches to optimize the decommissioning process, enhancing efficiency and minimizing disturbance of surrounding areas. Whether you are an industry professional, environmental consultant, or stakeholder involved in clean energy projects, this PowerCasts program offers invaluable knowledge and actionable insights to navigate the decommissioning process successfully.

Attendees will learn:

1. The frameworks and requirements for the decommissioning process for utility-scale clean energy assets.
2. Best practices for engaging stakeholders and community to ensure transparency and mitigate potential concerns.
3. About the financial considerations and cost-effective approaches.
4. Effective strategies for assessing and managing temporary disturbance, including land remediation and site restoration.
5. About emerging technologies and innovative solutions for optimizing the process and minimizing disturbances.

The clean power industry added a total of 33.8 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale clean energy projects in 2023, surpassing by 12.5% the previous annual installation record set in 2021. Solar and storage additions led the charge, shattering previous records for both technologies. Clean power accounted for most of the new power capacity installed.

The U.S. now has 262 GW of clean energy powering its grid, which is enough electricity to power the equivalent of 69 million American homes. As a result, the nation now generates 16% of its electricity from wind and solar.

The clean power industry remains optimistic for the future, especially as developers started construction on 41 GW of new projects in the final months of 2023. This brings the clean power pipeline to a record 170 GW. Nonetheless, the record-setting pace of annual installations still lags behind what is needed for the country to achieve a net-zero emissions economy by 2050.

ACP’s Clean Power Annual Market Report 2023 is 120+ pages of key industry statistics, trends, and rankings from 2023.

The discussion was led by ACP CEO Jason Grumet, ACP Board Member and ENGIE’s Chief Renewables Officer David Carroll, and ACP VP of Markets and Policy Analysis John Hensley.

During this PowerCasts program, Redefining Siting: Bridging Planning, Policy, and Practice, researchers and practitioners explored the efficacy of where and how siting decisions are made and approaches to planning and community engagement that would best support just decision-making and accelerate clean energy deployment.

On February 26, 2024 ACP filed comments expressing concern over the proposed near-term time-matching requirement that will prevent green hydrogen production from scaling up.

• A new analysis from Wood Mackenzie—submitted alongside these comments—along with many other studies, support ACP’s position that Treasury’s current time-matching proposal would severely limit the role green hydrogen will play in the economy of tomorrow.

While ACP supports much of the Proposed Rule, we encourage Treasury to consider implementing the recommendations presented herein in the final rule to ensure the green hydrogen industry can scale up to meet its potential.
