Dr. Peter Fox-Penner Quoted in Recent RTO Insider Article
In a recent RTO Insider article, Principal Dr. Peter Fox-Penner was quoted on the impact of President Trump’s massive tax and spending bill on the energy industry.
The article, “U.S. Clean Energy Sector Faces Cuts and Limitations,” discusses the impacts expected on energy generation, the environment, and the economy, as well as the impact on wind and solar power and fossil fuels.
Dr. Fox-Penner noted, “We have done some analysis at Brattle Group and others have done some analysis that shows that wind and solar construction will be adversely affected substantially by this bill. But at the same time, it will continue at a significant pace in parts of the country even without these subsidies, because it remains the cheapest form of raw kilowatt hours.”
