Grid Growth, Utilization, and Affordability: A Playbook for States

Energy demand is rising—but steep rate hikes for consumers don’t have to be a given.

If we keep building massive infrastructure just for peak hours, families will pay the price for years to come on their electric bills. We have a narrow window to act and state leaders need to get ahead of the affordability curve now. Deploy Action’s playbook offers a roadmap for governors and regulators to:

  • Maximize existing grid utilization

  • Leverage smart flexibility and grid-enhancing technologies

  • Deploy DER solutions like community solar and storage that unlock real capacity

Deploy Action is working toward state-level victories that unlock America’s clean energy future.
