We’re excited to share the new U.S. Energy Foundation logo—a fresh look from the mark that was designed for us in our first year—1991. We wanted a new visual identity that reflects today’s EF and one that will carry us into the future. Read more about it:

Beginning in November, Massachusetts’ three big electric utilities will offer cheaper electric rates during the coldest months of the year for households using a heat pump.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

Sixty-five households across New York City are participating in a pilot program to use small batteries to power their air conditioning units at times of peak demand to relieve stress on the grid.

The addition of 11 gigawatts of batteries to the Midcontinent Independent System Operator footprint—to store and deliver low-cost, excess electricity to the grid during peak demand periods—could save about $27 billion in system costs by 2035.

A Boston suburb that banned gas in new construction and adopted a building code requiring high energy-efficiency performance is booming—sending the message that building electrification and fast, affordable construction can coexist.

A new study finds that replacing thousands of industrial boilers with heat pumps nationwide could save Americans $1.1 trillion in public health costs and reduce carbon emissions by 1.6 billion metric tons through 2050.

Advocates say community-based strategies, like heat pumps and solar panels, backed by local grassroots groups are a powerful and cheap way to drive climate action—and a new report can calculate how much carbon these clean energy projects keep from the air.

Illinois plans to get one million electric vehicles on the road by 2030 through partnerships with community leaders to convince their neighbors to drive electric.

Florida has become a solar powerhouse, adding over three gigawatts of utility-scale solar last year—more than California.

Massachusetts is lowering electricity rates for heat pump owners this winter—a move that could save these households hundreds or thousands of dollars each winter.

New York finalized standards to prohibit gas and other fossil fuels in most new buildings—making it the first state to commit to all-electric new buildings.

In San Antonio, a California-based energy storage company has plans to repurpose 500 electric vehicle batteries at the end of their life cycles to provide energy storage for Texas’ electric grid.

Musicians and concert venues are collaborating to push sustainability initiatives during live shows, including efforts to reduce and offset emissions.

Chart: Public electric vehicle chargers are growing steadily in the U.S.—the number of public charging ports doubled between 2020 and 2024, reaching nearly 200,000 by the end of last year.

Food vendors in New York City are exploring low-carbon, renewable energy alternatives to propane tanks and gas generators to power their food carts.

Four rooftop solar arrays installed in a Boston low-income housing development are expected to save the nonprofit housing developer about $35,000 each year—savings that will help provide more resources to its residents.

Through the first six months of this year, wind and solar have generated 40.2% of the electricity demand in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid region, which serves about 90% of the demand in Texas.

A Massachusetts electrification and solar pilot program for lower-income residents is cutting their energy bills nearly 60% and will guide the state’s future equity-focused electrification efforts.

A new building decarbonization roadmap, from Climate Mayors and Veolia North America, aims to help cities reduce carbon emissions from their buildings—saving taxpayers money by lowering city-owned buildings’ utility bills.

The Port Newark Container Terminal, the largest on the East Coast, installed rooftop and truck lane canopy solar systems that provide 50% of the port’s electricity demand and shows how solar can thrive without compromising performance or health.

As temperatures across the Northeast region of the U.S. hit their highest levels so far this year, solar panels and batteries helped prevent blackouts and likely saved consumers over $20 million.
