"America’s electricity grid may be only eight years away from hitting a major
decarbonization milestone, according to a new federal report.
On Wednesday, researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory published
a new forecast about what the Inflation Reduction Act and the bipartisan
infrastructure law could mean for the country’s power grid. They find that the
grid could hit a crucial target — generating 80% of its electricity without
burning fossil fuels — by the end of the decade.
Under some of the lab’s scenarios, the American grid could, by 2030, generate
90% of its electricity without burning carbon.
That is more than double today’s share, and it would make America’s power grid
one of the cleanest in the world. Climate pollution from the power sector could
plunge to 84% below its 2005 levels, when U.S. carbon pollution reached an
all-time high.
The report is the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s first analysis of the
two laws’ effects. Although NREL is funded by the Department of Energy, it is
operated independently of the federal government."
