Protecting Electricity Customers from Costly Fossil Fuels Today
Horizon Climate Initiative works to end the manipulative practice of uneconomic dispatch—electric utilities needlessly providing more expensive power and sticking their customers with the bill. You can hear from some of our amazing partners about why this practice occurs, and how we can stop it—with Logan Burke from Alliance for Affordable Energy, Joe Daniel from RMI, and Jill Tauber from Earth Justice—in their own words in this short video.

Jumping the Line: A Timely Discussion of Fossil Power and Energy Market Manipulation
Many thanks to our expert moderator and panelists and to the engaged audience for HCI's inaugural #NYCclimateWeek event. The event framed HCI’s work in the climate movement by bringing hidden barriers out into the open, building awareness of the need for regulatory scrutiny and utility reforms, and ultimately centering costs and consumer advocacy in the clean energy transition and ending uneconomic fossil fuel-fired power plant operations.
