Climate change is driving the need for reliable, efficient and appropriately distributed renewable energy. Climate change is affecting weather patterns, which in turn affects both demand for energy, and the production of alternative sources of renewable energy such as hydro, solar and wind. As the climate changes, so does the regulatory landscape surrounding energy production.

Renewables are gaining ground rapidly, and producers and distributors must stay abreast of evolving rules and regulations in the industry. There are multiple goals: to effectively implement new technologies, to ensure stability of the renewables enhanced grid and to increase cost savings across the board.
