While the federal government actively works to thwart renewable deployment and electrification, state policies like Vermont's Renewable Energy Standard backstop the clean energy transition.
Join us at REV2026 to learn what the RES is delivering for Vemont.
“This fellowship taught me that clean energy is more than technology. It is also about thoughtful planning, strong community relationships, and creating benefits that can last for generations.”
Thank you for your great work with Acadia Center this summer, Mariah!
“What we are seeing emerge is a pattern of blaming everything but the real cause of rising costs, which are significant increases on transmission and distribution,” -Kyle Murray

Rhode Island State Senator @DawnEuer aptly describes the challenges of the utility business model and the need to better align their incentives to tackle energy affordability

Utility companies have teams of lawyers and experts hired to ensure that energy system regulations favor THEIR bottom line.
How does the average person with skyrocketing energy bills even  compete with that?
Senior Policy Advocate Anya Poplavska shows how:
Data centers have become synonymous with skyrocketing energy costs, but solutions exist. Watch until the end for 5 ways data centers could engage differently with communities to keep rates reasonable and air & water quality safe. acadiacenter.org/resource/ac…
Distributed solar—rooftop systems and community solar—saved New England ratepayers $130-149 million during the week of 6/28-7/4. Acadia Center's models estimate that energy efficiency delivered $94-97 million in savings as well. Read the full report here: acadiacenter.org/resource/gr…
Residents, organizers and nonprofits in MA are invited: learn about the public process where you can weigh in on proposed data centers, power plants, and other projects in your neighborhood!

From the budget proposals in January, to the utility’s bid to own power generation in June, energy costs were front and center in the '26 RI legislative session. Acadia Center was there to defend renewables & energy efficiency every step of the way: acadiacenter.org/rhode-islan…
40% drop in emissions, $11.4 billion generated for clean energy. That's what RGGI has accomplished since it launched. Today we celebrate the return of Virginia to the coalition, with Acadia Center's Paola Moncada Tamayo breaking down how the state stands to gain from rejoining.
Acadia Center applauds @MassGovernor 's pause on accepting data center sales tax exemption applications until stronger protections are in place for Massachusetts residents, businesses and communities.

Acadia Center was glad to stand beside legislators and advocates in RI to call for an override of the veto of the Building Benchmarking & Reporting Act. Tracking the energy usage of large buildings is a common sense way to reduce energy waste and drive efficiency.

I completely agree with @AcadiaCtr here, “There’s really not evidence that reversing 30 years of power sector restructuring is going to lower costs.” This bill is a really bad idea. I’m heartened to see so many raise concerns and the questions necessary. providencejournal.com/story/…
Acadia Center and @cleanaircatf have identified a huge opportunity to effectively meet both goals—decarbonization AND affordability—through public financing of transmission optimization. Check out our latest joint report and watch the webinar replay here: youtube.com/watch?v=kuhUebIY…

New analysis from CATF + @AcadiaCtr finds that public financing mechanisms could significantly reduce the cost of building and upgrading transmission infrastructure in New England by up to 43% – delivering more than $9 billion in savings over 40 years.

Public financing for transmission & distribution infrastructure can reduce costs to ratepayers in the US region of New England, according to new research from @AcadiaCtr and @cleanaircatf -- as much as a 43% reduction from business-as-usual.

"It was a privilege to discuss with legislators how energy bills are lower today because of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Cuts to those same programs will lead to increased household costs, pollution and undermine the state's climate strategy." - Will Taylor
