This paper distills data and insights from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Offshore Wind Market Report (2024 Edition) and the latest federal policy developments to examine the principal stages of offshore wind development in the United States.

In an emerging world of solar-powered innovation, this article explores how thin, flexible solar films can be applied to micromobility vehicles—transforming them into self-charging systems and, potentially, catalysts for more efficient and accessible travel.

The Yale Center for Business and the Environment (CBEY)'s Planetary Solutions in Clean Energy Fellowship matches 10 undergraduate and graduate students with non-profit, low-profit, and governmental organizations committed to energy equity and the deployment of clean energy into low- and middle-income communities. Through this fellowship, Emily, a rising junior at Yale College pursuing Political Science with a certificate in Energy Studies, interns at the Virginia Conservation Network (VCN). This coalition has over 150 network partners working across the state to protect land and waterways and to promote sustainable energy, land use, and transportation practices.

At CBEY, we believe accessible energy education is key to building a resilient and secure future. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor Shift Key’s Summer School podcast series from Heatmap News — a set of “lecture conversations” designed to make the fundamentals of energy, electricity, and the power grid approachable for everyone. Dive in and learn something new this summer!

The study highlights the sensitivity of BESS deployment to both tariff levels and technological learning rates, with higher tariffs exacerbating declining adoption. Despite these disruptions, global lithium-ion battery price trajectories remain robust, aligning with industry projections. The authors wrote this paper for a Yale School of the Environment course on Energy Economics and Policy.

As part of Yale Center for Business and Environment’s Clean and Equitable Energy Development (CEED) Certificate Program, one team designed a floating offshore wind project off the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico. Their vision is a 1,200-megawatt installation that meets both the island’s pressing energy needs and its demands for justice, resilience, and self-determination. The Yale Clean Energy Forum interviewed Allison Pilcher, Haley Kirtland, and Hechen Liu, some members of the team.
