Item Open Access 2013 year in review state advanced energy legislation(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2013-12) Center for the New Energy Economy, author; Center for the New Energy Economy, publisherThis paper outlines CNEE's analysis of the 589 advanced energy bills that have been enacted this year.Item Open Access 2014 year-to-date: state advanced energy legislation(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2014-03) Center for the New Energy Economy, author; Center for the New Energy Economy, publisherThe Center for the New Energy Economy (CNEE) maintains the Advanced Energy Legislation Tracker (AEL Tracker) which consolidates all advanced energy-related legislation introduced in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia into one database. As of late February, the AEL Tracker contained 1,268 bills introduced in 2014. CNEE has catalogued the policy topics covered by each of these bills and this paper highlights the 15 most common policy topics introduced this year.Item Open Access 2016 state legislative activity relating to the Clean Power Plan(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2016-04) Center for the New Energy Economy, author; Center for the New Energy Economy, publisherTo date in 2016, legislators in 18 states have introduced 44 bills related to the implementation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan. This level of activity is lower than at this point in 2015. This is likely due to the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay of the CPP in February 2016, but also could be driven by the fact that several states do not hold even year legislative sessions.Item Open Access Addressing the upfront cost barrier: states invest in finance policy this session(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2013) Center for the New Energy Economy, author; Center for the New Energy Economy, publisherItem Open Access Advancing grid modernization and smart grid policy: a discussion paper(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2013-12) Center for the New Energy Economy, author; Center for the New Energy Economy, publisherThis paper is a result of the Advanced Energy Economy (AEE) Grid Modernization Policy Forum on June 18th, 2013 in Boulder, Colorado. The purpose of the forum was to identify the advanced energy industry's state policy priorities for smart grid utilization and deployment. The intended audience for this paper is state regulators, legislators, governor's' offices and other policy makers. This paper is not intended to be a comprehensive report on the smart grid. Rather, it is a summary of the most relevant barriers to broader smart grid adoption and corresponding policy options put forth for consideration by legislators, regulators and industry participants.Item Open Access In support of western regional resource and transmission planning coordination(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2021-10) Center for the New Energy Economy, author; Center for the New Energy Economy, publisherProduced in partnership by Gridworks and CNEE, this report stems from the facilitated conversations of the WIRED Transmission Planning and Development Working Group, in which leading Western transmission operators and policymakers collaborate to develop a shared vision for coordinated regional resource and transmission planning. This report concludes that existing "bottom up" transmission planning processes will not lead to the inter-regional, cost-effective transmission we need in the West. Rather, we recommend a coordinated regional resource and transmission planning process. The report outlines steps for beginning this process.--taken from website.Item Open Access Powering forward: presidential and executive agency actions to drive clean energy in America(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2015-12) Center for the New Energy Economy, author; Center for the New Energy Economy, publisherItem Open Access Powering forward: presidential and executive agency actions to drive clean energy in America: executive summary(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 2021-10) Center for the New Energy Economy, author; Center for the New Energy Economy, publisherEnacted in 1977, Title V of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) authorized the development of reclamation requirements for coal mining operations initiated after 1977. SMCRA allows states to seek primacy under which a state will be the lead authority in issuing and enforcing coal mine permits, including reclamation requirements, in its jurisdiction. For this report, CNEE evaluated and compared state implementation of SMCRA (through statute and administrative code) in the 23 states with primacy and active coal mining. We found that most states adopt the federal language nearly verbatim, and four areas of SMCRA afford opportunities for states to encourage the development of renewable energy resources and associated transmission infrastructure on reclaimed coal mine lands. PowerPoint presentation on the report detailing these policy opportunities.--taken from website.Item Open Access Promoting renewable energy development on reclaimed mine lands: state implementation of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act(Colorado State University.
