DEVELOPING A NEW ENERGY FRAMEWORK: INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONSUMERS
3:00 – 4:00 PM
What does a decarbonized electric grid look like? The majority of our transmission lines are over 25 years old with an expected lifespan of 50 years. Meanwhile, the Biden Administration has set a goal of zero carbon electricity generation by year 2035, which could require the construction of over a million miles of new transmission lines. This session will focus on innovative ways that the electric grid can be transformed, including the role of competitive procurement in transmission grid planning and upgrades, how performance-based ratemaking can incentivize transformation within our utilities, and how a transactive energy rate can spur the adoption of clean energy technologies.
