Process for Purpose
RMI’s Electricity Program supports the rapid transition to a low-carbon electricity system to power a secure, prosperous, and equitable US economy.
We’re transforming the US grid from one based on big power plants that burn fossil fuels to a combination of centralized large-scale renewables and distributed solutions right in our communities, businesses, and homes. We are putting the customer at the heart of the equation and empowering low-income households and communities to access energy efficiency and renewables, including community-scale solar.
Initiatives
Business Models and Regulatory Design
We aim to support three to five states that are committed to comprehensive regulatory and business model reform to drive a renewably powered electricity system by 2020.
