As the costs of clean energy generation have dropped, the negative impacts of coal have grown from environmental to economic as well. Increasingly, coal is seen as more expensive for consumers than renewable sources of power—this has evolved into a call for utilities to bear more of the costs of coal. Read more:

Had a great time visiting Downeast Wind in Maine last week! Thank you, Apex Clean Energy, for giving the accounting team the opportunity to see the construction of this 126 MW wind project up close.

Every year, wind energy projects deliver nearly $2 billion in state and local tax revenue to the communities in which they’re located. This income is consistent and long-term, allowing townships and counties to plan for the future during turbulent times. It helps support schools and emergency services as well as organizations that the community identifies as important. All in the name of creating better energy systems for everyone. ⚡

Construction on Apex’s first wind farm in ISO-NE is progressing in earnest! 👷👷♀️ Watching these projects rise from the ground firsthand helps us understand the scale of their power—and the jobs and economic impact created for the communities that host them.

Our core value of sustainability guides our decisions and inspires us to grow the positive impact of our work. This commitment drove us to develop a first-of-its-kind initiative for the clean energy industry: the Apex Conservation Grant Program, which to date has distributed $2.4 million (plus over $6 million in matching funds) to preserve and restore nearly 3,000 acres near our project areas.

Community input is a crucial part of the development process. A clean energy project represents a decades-long partnership with host counties and townships, and when set up correctly can directly address local needs while also fostering long-term prosperity. In Isabella County, a group of farmers came together to create a revenue-sharing lease that helped result in the largest wind farm in the state—securing decades of economic growth for the area.

Clean energy carries enormous potential for local communities: for emergency services, school districts, and more, the revenue produced by projects can create decades of economic security. Enter Big Trail Energy, a wind, solar, storage, and green fuels project that will transform how power is generated. ⚡

MISO has increased its wind resource by nearly two-thirds over the past five years, yet the benefits of this shift have not fully taken hold: the Midwest grid operator also sees a very high rate of wind power curtailment in favor of coal. Across the MISO footprint from 2021 to 2023, running coal power when cheaper resources were available saddled customers with $1.1 billion in excess costs, in addition to hindering the economic development that clean energy could create for the region. Read about the full impact of this curtailment from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC):

Great day in Dearborn, Michigan yesterday with friends from The AES Corporation, Apex Clean Energy, and ITC Holdings Corp. as we honored Michigan State Senator Sam Singh and Representatives Abraham Aiyash and Ranjeev Puriwith with ACP’s Clean Energy Champion Award for their roles in passing landmark legislation making Michigan a nationwide leader in clean energy production. Michigan is a clean energy leader, showing the rest of the country how to enhance national and energy security by supporting more American-made energy. #ACPW24 #PowerTheEconomy
