Powering National Renewal and Reinvigorating the Grid

Описание: As the United States seeks to accelerate economic growth and attract new investment, rising electricity demand is sharpening focus on whether current grid planning and infrastructure investment are sufficient to meet the moment. Mounting pressure on the power system is raising critical questions about reliability, long-term investment strategy, and affordability for households and businesses alike.

Please join the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program for a discussion featuring a keynote address by Jim Robb, President and CEO of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), followed by a panel conversation with Luke Pardue, Policy Director at the Aspen Institute’s Economic Strategy Group (AESG); Christina Hayes, Executive Director of Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACEG); and Paula Glover, President of the Alliance to Save Energy. The discussion will explore where today’s approach to grid planning and investment is falling short, the risks of underbuilding transmission, and how to ensure infrastructure investments strengthen reliability while prioritizing affordability and economic growth.

This event is made possible by the generous support of the Connective Grid Initiative.
