Electric vehicle market share in the Southeast (Florida, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee) doubled from 2.5% in July 2021 to 5% in July 2022, according to the Transportation Electrification in the Southeast report.…
The article reports on the UN's announcement of the official end of leaded gasoline worldwide, with a focus on the economic benefits of transportation electrification in the Southeast. SACE released a report showing that electrifying transport…
“I drove a Model 3 once with the fantastic Dory Larsen at Electrify the South”
“Utility operating cost savings can be achieved when EV drivers charge their vehicles at off-peak times, increasing energy sales without requiring the utility to invest in new grid infrastructure.”
The article reports on a UK initiative offering free EV charging during periods of excess renewable energy generation. SACE is mentioned as a co-host of an Earth Week webinar featuring race car driver and environmental activist…
“States in the Southeast continue to have some of the highest electricity bills in the country. An unacceptable combination of low incomes, a general lack of investment in energy efficiency, the prevalence of the need for electricity to provide both heating and cooling, and monopolistic utilities that are insulated from customer pressure have led states in the region to consistently appear among the worst in terms of energy burden (energy costs as a portion of household income).”
Republican Lauren McDonald won Georgia's PSC District 4 race, defeating Democrat Daniel Blackman. The article highlights McDonald's strong support for solar energy and his role in adding over 1 gigawatt of solar to Georgia Power's portfolio.…
“The unprecedented flooding in Florida areas thought to be drier than lower-lying coastal cities subject to storm surge proves we're all vulnerable to the stronger, longer-lasting effects of #climatechange on hurricane season”
“Biden's election is a victory for climate as time is running out to address serious climate disruption. Clean energy and climate change became prominent issues with voters in this election, and President-Elect Biden has committed to invest in clean energy solutions to ensure our well-being for generations to come.”
“The Southeast accounts for 28% of US EV manufacturing investment and at least 14% of the passenger EV manufacturing jobs while representing 18% of the US population. But in stark contrast, the Southeast accounts for only 10% of national EV sales and 13% of EV chargers.”
“I think almost no one was expecting that it would affect offshore wind”
“Rooftop solar in Florida is growing, but at less than 1% of our energy need being met with customer owned systems, why would Florida change its net metering rule? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Solar helps consumers save money, creates local jobs keeping energy dollars in the state while protecting our natural environment. Thankfully the PSC took no action in their recent workshop, but we must be watchful for any effort to block solar choice should it rise again at the PSC or in the Florida legislature.”
“Rooftop solar power provides benefits to the utility's system that can lower power bills for everyone, such as reducing the fuel burned by the utility to generate its own power and transmission and distribution (grid) benefits. Plus it drives economic development and jobs while making our communities cleaner and more resilient to weather events.”
“Florida is expected to become No. 1 in the Southeast in 2021 for solar capacity, according to the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy”
“Our forecast period now extends to 2023, reflecting a doubling of the 2019 capacity for 2022 (i.e., exceeding 20,000 MW) and then nearly 25,000 MW for 2023. We expect that to be the first year the region exceeds 10% of its capacity (and 5% of generation) from solar.”
