What People Get Wrong About the Inflation Reduction Act
The IRA will create millions of jobs, reduce energy costs, slash pollution and mitigate climate change impacts. The bill’s clean energy provisions represent a win for all American communities, and in fact, today, the most prevalent arguments against the law have little to no basis in truth.
SEIA Comments on FERC's Interconnection Reform NOPR
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) submitted new comments on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC’s) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on interconnection reforms that can speed clean energy deployment. SEIA’s comments recommend ways to make it faster and easier to connect solar and energy storage projects to the electricity grid, consistent with the President’s clean energy goals.
Solar and Storage Industry: Interconnection Reforms Must Strike the Right Balance of Transparency and Efficiency
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) submitted new comments on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC’s) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on interconnection reforms that can speed clean energy deployment.
Large-Scale Solar Siting: Encouraging Ecosystem Enhancement and Conservation While Producing Much Needed Zero-Carbon Electricity
With passage of the landmark Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the first significant step toward addressing climate change through federal statute, Congress has taken a major step forward. Through tax policy, Congress locked down long-term incentives for renewable energy projects and storage projects and put new policies in place to encourage U.S. production of the materials used in those projects at fair wages.
Solar Industry Highlights the Work that Lies Ahead After String of Policy Success
ANAHEIM, Calif. — As the U.S. solar and storage industry gathers for the first time in three years at RE+ 2022, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is laying out a renewed vision for the next decade of clean energy advocacy after a chain of policy successes, from President Biden’s solar tariff proclamation to the historic Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
How to Get Smart on the Inflation Reduction Act at RE+ 2022
While the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has already created a number of resources for members to use to build their understanding of the IRA and maximize the law’s benefits, RE+ 2022 is just around the corner, presenting an excellent opportunity for clean energy companies to hear directly from SEIA experts about how the IRA is changing the energy landscape.

EIA Response to SI2 and SEIA Comments on Data Collection
In July, the Solar and Storage Industries Institute (SI2), and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), made the case that the Energy Information Administration (EIA) should be collecting more data on a variety of issues, including: utility interconnection queues, interconnection costs, the state of the solar supply chain and solar manufacturing, and more information on electric grid operations itself. In an informal response to SI2, EIA pushed back on the organization’s claims.
SEIA Testimony on Colorado Renewable Energy Plan
SEIA filed an additional round of testimony in the Colorado Renewable Energy Plan case focused on distributed generation resources. SEIA and the Colorado Storage and Solar Association responded to other parties’ initial testimony, reiterating our positions to increase solar plus storage while supporting a robust commercial onsite program and expanding community solar.
SEIA Petition to Intervene in Georgia Public Service Commission Rate Case
SEIA alongside Vote Solar and Georgia SEIA intervened in a Georgia rate case. The comments argue for expanding rooftop solar programs for Georgians.
