Nov 10th: "Can a New Utility Business Model 'Green' the Grid?"

 

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.

 

[If you're not interested, carry on :-) ]

 

Best

Can a New Utility Business Model Green the Grid? 

Restructuring for Resilient Renewables 

 

Thursday, November 10 - 7:00 - 8:30 pm

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.
