Coffee Break – Building a Resilient Power System
September 15, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 10:30 am
HOT TOPIC: This month’s Coffee Break will provide an introduction to how our power system can be made more resilient in the face of climate change. Americans are finding themselves in the dark these days – and for longer – as ever-more-severe storms knock out power grids. So, how do you build a resilient power system? BloombergNEF’s Grids & Utilities analyst Amanda Welch will talk about 3 approaches that can scale and make a real impact including grid hardening, decentralization and interconnectors.
