Advanced Energy United is a national industry association representing businesses that provide the full range of advanced energy and transportation solutions. It works for public policies that let those technologies compete, with the stated aims of creating economic opportunity, lowering consumer costs, and strengthening reliability and resilience across the U.S.
Its work is state-focused: it engages decision-makers in state houses, regulatory bodies and governors’ offices, and at grid operators. Priorities include faster siting, permitting and interconnection for large-scale solar, wind, storage, geothermal and transmission; resource planning and procurement; and scaling distributed energy resources, energy efficiency, virtual power plants and electrification. It also provides research and technical expertise for state decision-makers.
How it gets used on a real project
Much of what shapes a project’s path is decided in state planning, procurement and interconnection proceedings and at the grid operators. Advanced Energy United engages in those processes across many states, so its updates help bridge the gap between national associations focused on Washington and the state decisions that reach your project.
Worth naming plainly: Advanced Energy United is an advocacy organization, so its research is useful but its policy positions are advocacy, the industry’s case rather than neutral analysis.
