Support Solar and Storage for a Strong, Reliable, Secure Electric Grid
When American families need power most, solar and storage are stepping up. Tell your local lawmakers that it’s time to build a power system we can count on—and that we need to invest in solar and storage to make it happen.
Why it’s important
Aging infrastructure, spiking energy demand, and worsening natural disasters are creating new challenges for the electric grid and threatening the stability and affordability that Americans deserve. Solar and storage are the fastest-growing technologies on the grid and are essential to making our energy system more reliable, affordable, and secure. Smart policies can accelerate their deployment and make our communities safer, stronger, and more resilient.
What this means for your community
When the sun is blazing and the grid is under the most pressure, solar and storage step up. They deliver reliable power when it’s needed most, cut costs for families, and keep critical infrastructure like hospitals and emergency services running. And because they’re built close to home, these technologies boost local energy independence and keep economic benefits in the community.
Whether it’s approving local projects or setting fair compensation for rooftop solar, your state’s regulators have enormous influence over the affordability and reliability of your electricity. Supporting solar and storage means holding these decisionmakers accountable to the needs of your community.
Our goal
Enact common sense, reliability-focused policies at the federal, state and local level that accelerate solar and storage deployment and unlock their reliability potential. These include streamlining interconnection, scaling energy storage technology, leveraging the benefits of distributed solar and storage, and investing in infrastructure that brings reliable clean energy to every community.
