This briefing by RMI discusses the use of 'baseline' large load tariffs and 'Bring-Your-Own' (BYO) tariffs to integrate large energy users, such as data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities, into the United States power grid while mitigating risks to other ratepayers and accelerating clean energy deployment.

This guide explains how local governments in the United States can use buyer-led aggregation to procure off-site, large-scale renewable energy, providing a seven-step process and case studies to facilitate the transition.

This research paper by the World Resources Institute examines how collaborations between U.S. cities and corporations can overcome technical, policy, and market barriers to advance the procurement and deployment of renewable electricity.

This guide by the World Resources Institute (WRI) provides local governments with a framework for sourcing and collecting the data necessary to conduct a 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) analysis. It outlines the three primary datasets required—hourly load data, grid mix and emissions data, and additional energy procurement or generation data—and offers various methodologies for estimating these values when actual data is unavailable.
