Climate change presents a call to action to transform the energy ecosystem, requiring us to change how we’ve planned, fueled, and operated the grid over the past 100 years. The United States has set bold decarbonization targets, necessitating sixfold growth in connected renewables annually and triple the current transmission capacity by 2035.
This pace of change requires better information about our grid to enable decarbonization while ensuring resilience and affordability. This panel will discuss how a data-enabled and transparent grid facilitates the implementation of distributed energy resources (including virtual power plants) and how it empowers us to make optimal decisions about how we build and coordinate the grid of the future.
Immediately following the webinar, you are invited to an optional informal networking session with the panelists, providing a chance for more Q&A, interaction, and career path-based questions and advice. When registering for the webinar, please indicate if you are interested in the networking session to receive the separate networking session Zoom link.
