Owning the Green Grid

Owning the Green Grid, written by Joshua A Basseches, examines the critical intersection of corporate ownership and state-level renewable energy policymaking. As the first volume in the American and Comparative Environmental Policy Series, this scholarly work investigates how the ownership of the electricity system influences the policy preferences of various interest groups. Basseches analyzes twenty-five years of renewable electricity policy across seven states to determine how investor-owned utilities impact the transition to clean energy.

This title belongs to the American and Comparative Environmental Policy Series and serves as a vital resource for those studying energy production and extraction. Through an examination of legislative texts and regulatory data, the book explores how utility structures shape political outcomes in the science and technology sectors. It provides deep insights into politics and government, specifically regarding how corporate power and state energy economies affect public affairs and policy in the pursuit of environmental goals.
