Owning the Green Grid

ENDORSEMENTS “Moving beyond red versus blue, Basseches incisively exposes how investor-owned utilities quietly shape—and often capture—the rules of America’s clean energy transition, revealing that who owns and governs the grid matters as much as technology or partisanship.” —Jonas Meckling, author of Carbon Coalitions “A sharp, original analysis of how investor-owned utilities shape renewable energy policy, Owning the Green Grid reveals the political forces behind electricity reform and climate progress, offering essential insights for scholars, policymakers, and advocates alike.” —Leah Stokes, author of The Carbon Wave “Drawing on interviews with legislators, regulators, advocates, and industry participants, Basseches captures pivotal moments in state energy policymaking. The result is an inside account of a transformative era for electric utilities and clean energy deployment.” —Ari Peskoe, Director, Electricity Law Initiative, Harvard Law School
