Addressing an Electrification Roadblock: Residential Electric Panel Capacity
Pecan Street’s new analysis explores the opportunities for policymakers and utilities to remove a significant barrier to residential electrification.

This is also a critical opportunity to ensure a just energy transition by creating sliding incentives based on household income levels.
