What It Is

RMI supports state-level policymakers, advocates, and researchers by developing credible, rigorous, and accessible analysis to help drive informed clean energy deployment. We also support US states in building a sustainable, equitable, and affordable future for their residents while reducing emissions.

Why It Matters

US clean energy deployment must encompass all levels of government and civil society in order to drive economic development, job creation, national security, emissions reductions, and health benefits. States are critical to accelerating deployment, including:

  • Pushing the boundaries of clean energy by testing new policies, programs, and technologies that can lead to models and best practices for broader application
  • Contextualizing ambitious climate action to the unique economic, environmental, and political realities of each state
  • Accelerating rollout and implementation of ambitious clean energy plans, policies, and programs.

State action will be more effective and durable if it is informed by data and analysis that keeps the focus on high-impact policies and actions.
