This includes about $12B in electricity and natural gas costs for households, and $6B in electricity costs for commercial and industrial customers, per a new Corporate Energy Buyers Association analysis. That’s because solar and wind permitting hurdles could inflate electricity and natural gas costs between 2027 and 2033 (especially in ERCOT, where they could rise by around 22%).
The solution, according to CEBA? “Technology-neutral permitting reforms and removing other deployment constraints” for renewables, the organization wrote.
