Learn more about the critical topic that’s impacting our national infrastructure: Developing a Next-Generation, Efficient, and Resilient US Power Grid with founder of the Cornell Program in Infrastructure Policy (CPIP), Professor Rick Geddes, who will be leading a panel discussion on renewing the nation’s electrical grid on June 13th at 9:00 AM at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, DC.
To accommodate the growing demand for electricity, the US will need to find ways to generate clean energy more quickly. Industry experts will explore strategies to help increase the speed and scale in adopting resilient, reliable, distributed, renewable, and US-controlled power. Discussion topics will include recent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rules and power-generation technologies (such as solar, wind, geothermal, storage, and small modular reactors), key resources (such as strategic metals, component supply chains, and key dependencies), project-finance risks (including permitting, interconnection, regulation, site control, and time), and innovative business models.
Speakers will include:
- Jeff Weiss, Executive Chairman, Distributed Sun
- Scott Aaronson, Senior Vice President of Security and Preparedness, Edison Electric Institute
- Jaquelin Cochran, Director, Grid Planning and Analysis Center, National Renewable Energy Laboratory
- Sean McGarvey, President, North America’s Building Trades Unions
