The U.S. power sector is in the midst of a rapid transformation driven by several broad and interlinked trends: electrification of existing sectors such as transport and heat, and connection of new customers; decentralization of production and storage of electricity; and modernization of physical and digital grid infrastructure. Central to each of these themes is the need for continued and accelerated decarbonization of electricity in order to mitigate the impacts of climate change and protect human health. In this webinar, panelists will discuss how the U.S. power sector can deliver abundant, affordable, secure, and flexible power as we transition to a low-carbon and increasingly electrified economy. Panelists: Dr. Peter Fox-Penner, Founder and Director of Boston University’s Institute of Sustainable Energy and Professor of Practice in the Questrom School of Business.
