The pace of policy change is accelerating, and if you're in the energy space, you can't afford to fall behind. Let’s break down the latest legislative shifts shaking up the U.S. energy landscape from Texas to Washington and what they mean for onsite energy projects, investor confidence, and the future of distributed energy.
Listen in as we cover the highs and lows of recent state and federal bills, including the surprising defeat of three anti-renewable proposals in Texas, the potential of SB 1202 to dramatically cut soft costs, and the razor-thin passage of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” in Congress.
