Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Rooftop solar surpassed natural gas capacity in 2025, boosting E3's grid integration advisory.
  • Illinois ComEd commissions E3 for 2050 net-zero pathways, signaling utility planning demand.
  • E3's Q1 2026 forecasts meet rising needs for North American electricity market analysis.

What critics are saying

  • Rhythmos.io's EV optimization tech erodes E3's standalone grid consulting value.
  • California's $20B electrification savings by 2045 cuts gas utility advisory demand.
  • ComEd builds in-house teams post-E3 study, eliminating outsourced decarbonization roles.

What makes Energy and Environmental Economics unique

  • E3's PATHWAYS model maps economy-wide decarbonization scenarios for states like Illinois by 2050.

California: $20 Billion Potential Savings From Targeted Electrification

Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News!New analysis shows targeted electrification could save Californians more than $20 billion in gas pipeline costs by 2045 while tackling climate emissions. The transition from gas heating appliances to clean, efficient electric heat pumps is already underway in California — yet gas utilities continue to spend millions of dollars each year to replace gas pipelines. As California transitions to all-electric appliances, which is the most cost-effective way to reduce pollution from our buildings, state leaders face a pivotal choice: Keep pouring billions into new gas infrastructure that is likely to be underutilized or realign our spending with the clean energy transition. New analysis from Energy + Environmental Economics (E3) shows just how enormous the financial stakes are

New Study Outlines Pathways To Achieve Illinois’ Goal Of Full, Economy-Wide Decarbonization By 2050

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National sustainability consulting firm Energy and Environmental Economics, Inc. (E3) today released a study that outlines pathways for Illinois to achieve full, economy-wide decarbonization in Illinois by 2050, consistent with the state’s pledge as part of the U.S. Climate Alliance to pursue the Paris Agreement. The study accounts for the significant progress expected as a result of the state’s Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), which aims to decarbonize the power sector and accelerate transportation electrification, as well as the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).The study found that, while CEJA and the IRA will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Illinois, more action – particularly in the transportation and buildings sectors – will be needed to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Decarbonization refers to the process of lowering GHGs produced by fossil fuel combustion, often through the electrification of transportation, buildings and industry. The study was commissioned by ComEd so the company could better understand the impacts of full decarbonization for the 9 million people it serves and the power grid they depend on for clean, reliable and affordable power.“As the operator of the largest electric grid in Illinois, we have a critical role in enabling the state’s decarbonization goals, and we’re committed to making sure the transition to a clean energy economy is affordable and equitable for all of our customers,” said Gil C
