Electricity powers our communications, lights our homes and businesses, propels our trains, and keeps our hospitals running—literally keeping people alive. Plans for our clean energy future depend on electricity generated by low- or no carbon sources to move our vehicles, as well as heat and cool our homes. We take for granted that electricity will be there when we need it.
This forum will discuss the value of microgrids, combined heat and power (CHP), solar power, and other sources of electricity in assuring municipalities and institutions have reliable power even when the grid is down to ensure a reliable electricity supply as our climate changes. Panelists will also discuss the potential of microgrids to provide significant benefits in addition to a resilient electricity system.
This will be an interactive forum, with ample time for discussion and questions with the panelists.
Panelists:
Baird Brown, Principal, eco(n)law LLC. Co-counsel to the Microgrid Resources Coalition
Ben Parvey, Founder and CEO, BlueSky Power
Joseph Sullivan, Vice President of Energy Policy and Development, Concord Engineering
Panel Moderator
Robert Graff, Manager, Office of Energy and Climate Change Initiatives, DVRPC
