Policies Facilitating Decarbonization of Supply | Decarbonizing the Grid | Bits & Watts Initiative

The wholesale electricity market will continue to improve its efficiency and competitiveness to integrate renewables and DERs. Local competitive energy markets (or retail pricing) will provide cost-benefit tradeoffs to prosumers by creating opportunities to bid for competing services. Carbon pricing, policies to facilitate the transition away from coal mining and combustion, technology-forcing regulations to accelerate the development of new technology are examples of actions that can be taken to accelerate the decarbonization of the grid.
