Policy update
AEE reacted to Florida House passage of SB 7018, a bill that directs the Florida Department of Transportation, in consultation with the Florida Public Service Commission, Office of Energy, and relevant stakeholders, to develop a “Master Plan” for electric vehicle infrastructure expansion. The House vote was 97-19 and follows Senate passage, clearing the bill for the Governor's signature. "We applaud the Florida legislature for making electric vehicles a legislative priority in the 2020 session and the House for passing Senate Bill 7018 today. This bill is an important step toward expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure along the State Highway System and taking other steps to maximize the benefits of electric vehicles to Floridian consumers and businesses,” said AEE Director Dylan Reed.

Utility renewable energy programs for C&I customers are no longer a new concept, but they’re still not meeting the potential demand in many vertically integrated states, where customers don’t have the options they need to meet their renewable energy goals. This webinar will look at the potential C&I renewable energy demand in vertically integrated states based on analysis of two very different states, Florida and Indiana, and the economic benefits that would come from meeting that demand; trends in utility programs across the country; and how customer perspectives and preferences have shifted as the concept of utility renewable energy programs matures.
Panelists:
- Caitlin Marquis, Director, Advanced Energy Economy
- Holly Lahd, Lead Energy Program Manager, Target
- Tyler Espinoza, Director Energy & Climate Practice, 3Degrees
