Renewable Energy

AIF SUPPORTS energy policy that allows for the development and expansion of the renewable energy sector while maintaining reliability of services and without any mandates by government or unreasonable prices. Such a policy would attract significant investment and spur manufacturing, distribution, and cutting-edge R&D job growth in the renewable technologies and renewable fuel sector. The policy should allow willing partners to make business decisions that will develop a market and avoid unintended consequences that stem from government mandates.

AIF SUPPORTS legislation that will enable interested investor-owned utilities to develop renewable energy supply sources using the technology (solar, wind, biomass, etc.) and scale (large, medium, small) that makes the most sense for those investor-owned utilities and their customers. This would allow both the investor-owned utilities and other suppliers in the renewable sector to make market-based decisions to deploy renewable sources to meet customer needs in a cost-effective manner.
