In an era of growing energy demand and federal rollbacks, states cannot afford to leave cost-effective, commonsense energy efficiency solutions on the table. Our blog explores how energy-efficient building codes can be used as a powerful tool for states to increase grid flexibility, meet rising load growth, and ensure long-term energy affordability.

On September 5, 2025, Advanced Energy United and several of our member companies met with New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and her office to discuss how advanced energy solutions can meet growing energy demand reliably and affordably. United’s Joey Paolino outlines how New Mexico can utilize existing energy infrastructure to meet rising load growth, highlighting the critical role governors play in unleashing advanced energy’s full potential, amidst federal rollbacks.

Following the final passage of H.R.1, clean energy tax credits for battery, geothermal, nuclear, and manufacturing remain in place, but are now hamstrung by new “foreign entities of concern” (FEOC) rules. United’s Harry Godfrey spoke with Canary Media about the potential disruption of these rules for clean energy projects, urging the Administration to provide clear compliance guidelines for developers.

In an opinion piece for Crain’s Chicago Business, United’s Samarth Medakkar and Climate Control Group’s Joe Parsons highlight the cost savings and grid benefits of geothermal heating and cooling, urging lawmakers to expand access to these proven technologies by passing House Bills 3399 and 3609.
