Ameren Sets Net-Zero by 2050 Goal, Plots Major Wind and Solar Expansion in MidwestAmeren has joined the ranks of U.S. utilities pledging to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, with a long-range plan that invests nearly $8 billion in renewable energy and accelerates some coal plant closures — although it will retain much of its coal fleet through 2040. Like other net-zero carbon goals , Ameren’s will rely on “further advancements in innovative, carbon-free technologies and constructive federal and state energy and economic policies” to reach its final goal, CEO Warner Baxter said in a Monday statement. Ameren joins a growing list of U.S. utilities committing to net-zero carbon by midcentury in states that haven’t yet set that goal as a mandate, although several are on the cusp of doing so. The list includes Duke Energy , Dominion Energy , Southern Company , Arizo... |
5 Major US Utilities That Haven’t Promised to Fully DecarbonizeElectric utilities all over the place are promising to eliminate or net out their carbon emissions — here's GTM's look at the top five . Such promises were unthinkable for utilities just a few years ago. But the trend took off when Xcel Energy figured out it could retire coal plants, build clean power plants, and make more profits while keeping electricity costs down. The combination of positive public perception, a bigger rate-base and greater appeal to sustainability-minded investors turned the carbon-free commitments into the rule, not the exception, for the utility sector.

The 5 Biggest US Utilities Committing to Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050Over the past three years, some of the country’s biggest utilities have been committing to a goal that few may have predicted they’d undertake on their own: weaning themselves off carbon-emitting generation by 2050. Driving this sea change in long-term planning is a combination of public pressure and energy economics. The falling costs of wind and solar power are pushing utilities to find ways to incorporate them into their long-range plans, even as they struggle to define what resources can be relied on to provide the dispatchable power they need. At the same time, the increasingly dire effects of global warming are bringing more Americans in line with much of the rest of the world in making carbon-emissions reduction a top policy priority. Utilities in many states now face mandates to... |
AWEA Introduces New Trade Group, the American Clean Power AssociationThe largest wind trade group in the U.S. announced Friday it will officially broaden its mission beyond wind, as part of a newly-formed industry group. The American Wind Energy Association, which advocated for that industry and its member companies for over forty years, will merge with a new organization called the American Clean Power Association. More than 30 member companies from utilities, wind, solar and other new energy industries coalesced to make a trade group “that better represents the renewables industry of today,” the group said Friday. “AWEA recognizes the value of a broad section of the renewables industry — from wind, solar and other renewable resources, to supporting technologies such as storage and transmission,” the group said in an emailed statement. “Collaboration wi... |
