AEE Members gain access to critical insights on policies that impact the growth of the advanced energy sector through a monthly briefing call led by AEE's team of policy experts, and access to bi-weekly regulatory and legislative tracking newsletters.
AEE Advocates opt to participate in either two or three of AEE's policy Working Groups and our Policy Council, providing the opportunity not only to gain access to and insight from AEE's team of policy experts, but also to actively influence our policy activities.
AEE Leaders have access to participate in all of our Working Groups, our Policy Council, and our Leadership Council — not only gaining the ability to influence our policy activities, but also to work with AEE's team of organizational leaders to guide our strategic direction.
AEE’s Utility Advisory Committee engages leaders from utilities and independent system operators in conversations with company executives on issues challenging utilities and regulators in a changing electric power system in coordination with our 21st Century Electricity System Initiative.

The Electrifying Transportation Working Group focuses on activities to accelerate EV deployment in specific states by tackling policies that reduce the upfront cost of the vehicle, accelerate charging infrastructure deployment, modernize utility regulations to integrate EVs, and address the specific challenges facing medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
The Expanding Wholesale Markets Working Group works to eliminate barriers to the participation of advanced energy technologies in competitive wholesale markets. This work includes, but is not limited to, reforming legacy FERC or ISO/RTO market rules and operating practices that restrict or limit the ability of advanced energy technologies to participate in the markets, pursuing new market designs that better accommodate and take advantage of the unique physical and operational characteristics of advanced energy technologies, and opposing proposals that would unfairly disadvantage advanced energy technologies and/or give undue preference to incumbent technologies.
Through NARUC engagement activities and educational forums, AEE works with members of the Decision-maker Education & Engagement Working Group to coordinate programs and forums that help state utility regulators better understand advanced energy products, services, and business models. These events include opportunities to educate candidates, commissioners, and staff members about the technologies and opportunities available, the benefits they can provide to customers and the electric power system as a whole, and solve the regulatory challenges in obtaining these benefits.
AEE’s activities to drive technology adoption and market transformation are spread across two separate geographically focused Working Groups: East and West. The focus of Driving Technology Adoption & Market Transformation – East is to support, defend, and introduce policies to increase the size and value of markets for advanced energy companies in specific states in the region where AEE has identified opportunities. This work includes reform of utility regulatory and business models as needed to support the use of advanced energy technologies and services by utilities, third-party providers, and customers.
