Renewable Energy Trust’s Public Policy Efforts

Policy Unit
The Policy Unit of the Renewable Energy Trust increases the availability, affordability and use of renewable energy by assessing market and regulatory challenges, assembling objective information, and helping MTC collaboratives to develop consensus policy recommendations. The Policy Unit also provides policy analysis and program development support to other parts of the Trust in the areas of electricity and REC markets and the regulation of electric utilities.

Offshore Wind Energy Collaborative
The Collaborative's goal is to overcome the barriers to generating and delivering electricity from U.S. offshore wind farms at a competitive cost by the beginning of the next decade.

Cape and Islands Offshore Wind Stakeholder Process
This process was used as part of the permitting for the Cape Wind project. The Trust acted as a neutral broker in this valuable process.
