Communities and consumers are increasingly frustrated by rising power rates, ongoing reliability concerns, and the lack of meaningful ways to participate in the planning and siting of new energy infrastructure. Check out Acadia Center's latest report for the Northeast Grid Planning Forum (NGPF), in collaboration with Canada-based Nergica.

A guide intended for any community member who wants to make a difference and bring the benefits of clean energy to their town.

Acadia Center’s Grid Action Report examines the impacts of the recent historic heat wave on the New England power grid, which was pushed to its limits with record-setting demand. The piece also highlights critical contributions played by energy efficiency and interregional transmission imports, along with strong evidence about the opportunity for battery energy storage to further help the system during challenging peak periods.

By collaborating with policymakers, industry leaders, and grassroots organizations, Acadia Center creates pathways for innovative clean energy policies that benefit entire communities — especially those that have historically been left behind. But to continue on this path, we need your help to bridge these divides.
