Missed Connections: Modernizing Our Multiple Grids
from Climate One · host Climate One from The Commonwealth Club
Thousands of renewable energy projects are ready to be built and start producing fossil-free power, but they’re stuck in a long limbo for one essential piece of the puzzle: getting connected to the grid. A slow and inefficient federal permitting process and insufficient transmission capability are prohibiting renewable energy projects from going online. To make matters even more difficult, the U.S. lacks a centralized grid. That means adding layers of complexity to an already slow process. The Biden administration is focused on streamlining the permitting process, boosting funding and helping navigate this new energy future. What will it take to modernize our multiple grids? Guests: Pat Wood III, CEO, Hunt Energy Network Jennifer Gardner, Vice Chair, Western Energy Imbalance Market José Zayas, Executive Vice President of Policy and Programs, American Council on Renewable Energy L.
