Study finds utility-scale solar lowers grid costs
Original: Our study didn’t ignore grid costs. We measured them — and utility-scale solar lowers them.
Researchers behind a new study are pushing back at critics, saying their analysis did not ignore grid costs but directly measured them. They report that utility-scale solar power reduces overall grid costs rather than raising them. The response comes amid ongoing debate over how large-scale solar affects electricity rates and infrastructure spending.
Why now: Utility-scale solar's impact on electricity costs is a contested topic in energy policy debates.
