[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] FYI - interesting local Zoom event Nov 10th: "Can a New Utility Business Model 'Green' the Grid?"

[Frank Gens]

Hi fellow LCTG members… my wife, Marcia, is involved in a lot of sustainability activities in Lexington. She mentioned an upcoming event that I thought might be of interest to some folks in this august group of science and technology mavens. :-)

It’s a Zoom event with two local experts talking about evolving electric and gas utilities' business models and modernizing their infrastructure to accelerate their shift to renewables. If you’re interested, here are the details…

Can a New Utility Business Model Green the Grid?
Restructuring for Resilient Renewables

Thursday, November 10 - 7:00 - 8:30 pm
Register here<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkf-ygrTsuHtIBfsnbBDAYOdYEnOYl2XdC> for the Zoom Link (url: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkf-ygrTsuHtIBfsnbBDAYOdYEnOYl2XdC)

To get to net zero carbon emissions by 2050 we need to act today. This event will explore how we get there.

#1 Reform our utility model to eliminate structural barriers to resilient reliable renewables.  We welcome Mark Sandeen, Lexington Select Board Member and Former Chair of Sustainable Lexington to inform us on how utilities could lead the way to renewable energy powering the grid.

#2 Green our heating and cooling in an equitable way, without straining our electric grid or raising our energy bills.  Audrey Schulman, Co-Founder and Co-Executive director of HEET will explain how to persuade gas utilities to install networked ground source heat pumps instead of new gas infrastructure.
