United States
Guiding the United States through the transition to clean, efficient, reliable and affordable power.
The United States is at the forefront of a profound transition in the way it produces and consumes energy. New technologies, more efficient practices and expanding consumer options — coupled with a shifting policy landscape and growing public concern about air pollution and climate change — are transforming every aspect of the power system. An increasing number of U.S. states have set ambitious goals to reduce emissions from energy generation and use, and states have big decisions to make as an influx of federal investment becomes available.
