This spring, 40 SOM and FES students studied “Financing Green Energy” with Lecturer in Finance Jon Anda. Students analyzed cleantech stocks, debated the merits and risks of upcoming cleantech IPOs, and read academic papers at the leading edge of energy and environmental economics. The conversation ranged across renewables, efficiency, PEVs, nuclear, natural gas with CCS, and hybrid power plants. The underlying theme was that advanced analytics on energy system costs and lifecycle analysis are critical to decision-making and understanding cleantech valuations.

There goes the neighborhood. A new study by NYU and Yale professors suggests that rooftop solar is contagious. You are more likely to install solar panels on your roof if your neighbors have gone solar.
In “Peer Effects in the Diffusion of Solar Photovoltaic Panels,” Bryan Bollinger of the NYU Stern School of Business and Kenneth Gillingham of the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies analyzed residential solar installations in California from January 2001 to August 2011.
Three leading energy efficiency and renewable energy organizations that are part of the REIL Network including the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP, an international body), the Alliance to Save Energy (Alliance) and the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) - have jointly released their Compendium of Best Practices: Sharing Local and State Successes in Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy from the United States, in which state and local governments share the key elements of their programs, lessons learned and what made each program a success.
The Compendium was announced on April 23, 2010 at an event sponsored by the Yale World Fellows Program and video of the speakers is now available on YouTube.
