Renewable Rides Ep 64: How States Stack Up on Grid Carbon Intensity
With the grid getting cleaner, is onsite energy still worth considering? As businesses look for the most cost-efficient solutions, it's tempting to think the answer is no. But the reality is far more complex. In this episode, we dive deep into this question and share some surprising findings about the state of the grid and carbon intensity across the U.S.
Listen in to hear the data from recent years regarding energy rates, carbon intensity, and emission reductions, as well as the trends we uncovered that may just surprise you. You'll learn which states have made unexpected strides in reducing (or, in some cases, increasing) their carbon footprints and what this all means for your business. We also share our analysis of how onsite energy plays a key role in navigating this shifting landscape—and why it might be more relevant than ever.
What You’ll Learn in Today’s Episode:
- Trends happening with energy demand.
- The direction that energy and decarbonization appear to be going.
- Surprising states that have decreased (or increased) their carbon intensity.
- Where energy charges have increased and why that might lead to more onsite energy solutions.
- Where businesses will have the best "bang for their buck" in terms of decarbonization and impact.
- Consistent themes we see in the markets and how to educate and inform decisions in your business.
- Why we can’t rely on the grid cleanup.
