Panel description:

The maturation of clean energy policy, technology and finance has paved the way for a sustainable future. But how does this affect our energy infrastructure plans in this transition? A grid equity lens can help understand differences in distribution grid reliability, involuntary service disconnections, and hosting capacity for distributed energy resources, among other things. To ensure a just transition, equity metrics should provide information on how energy infrastructure is planned, how resources are deployed, and how utilities and developers are incentivized to deploy capital. Furthermore, by leveraging investments and policy frameworks, there is an opportunity to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the growth of clean energy sources. This session will highlight the feasibility and economic viability of the transition to renewable energy sources and within the infrastructure of our electricity grid.
