As America races to build a new energy system, states are making policy choices that determine who pays for it, who benefits from it, and who gets to decide what it looks like. ILSR designed our Community Power Scorecard as a tool for advocates, researchers, community members, and lawmakers to track states’ energy policy choices and chart pathways forward that build community power and challenge utility monopoly power.

We hope you’ll join us in sharing the 2026 Community Power Scorecard as widely as possible.
