3 Reasons Renewables are Pushing Back Against Grid Study

Renewables are pushing back against a Department of Energy grid study because:

• the study is built on a false premise that renewables are responsible for the retirement of coal and nuclear plants that, threby putting grid reliability at risk
• the study should include public comment with more energy industry input
• operators of renewables are effectively integrating renewable power onto the grid and changes to baseload power are driven by challenges from low-priced natural gas, which has made coal and nuclear plants less competitive

Which renewable energy groups have signed onto this position?

• American Council on Renewable Energy
• American Wind Energy Association
• Solar Energy Industries Association
• Advanced Energy Economy
