Wilson Sonsini teamed up with the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) to publish Enacting a Federal High-Penetration Renewable Energy Standard, advocating for the adoption of a renewable energy standard (RES) that puts electric utilities throughout the United States on a pathway to a carbon neutral power sector. In addition to providing recommendations regarding the central components of a federal RES—such as timeline and qualifying technologies—Wilson Sonsini and ACORE addressed how policymakers crafting such legislation should also consider stranded assets, grid reliability, the need for transmission and energy storage infrastructure buildout, and the importance of a socioeconomically fair transition to a carbon-free power sector (e.g., by way of catalyzing robust employment opportunities in regions historically dominated by fossil fuel industries).
