Laying the Groundwork for an Equitable Modern Electric Grid

MAR 28, Thurs, 12-1:30PM, free webinar with PURA Chair, Marissa Gillett and Rep. Jonathan Steinberg

In order for Connecticut to transition to carbon-free electricity, we will need to rethink our electric grid. Today’s grid was designed in a different age for a different mix of power producers and consumers. Even today, it has areas of congestion and vulnerability to weather events, and is holding back the clean energy transition in tangible ways. Connecticut’s utility regulator, PURA, has been hard at work ensuring that our electric grid will be capable of meeting the demands it will face as we transition to renewable power generation and increased demand from electric vehicles and heat pumps. In this webinar, PURA Chairman Marissa Gillett and her team will update us on this work. Following this presentation, State Representative Jonathan Steinberg, Co-Chair of the Joint Energy & Technology Committee, will join Chairman Gillett in a “fireside chat” on the state of Connecticut’s energy transition.
