The Strategic Value of Modern Grid Technologies

Please join the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program for a conversation between Louise White, Policy Advisor, DOE Loan Programs Office and Office of Technology Transitions, and lead author of the DOE Liftoff Report on Innovative Grid Deployment and Cy McGeady, Fellow, CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program.
The U.S. electric power sector is facing surging demand growth and clogged interconnection queues for new generation resources; policymakers face a strategic imperative to expand transmission system capacity. The conversation will discuss the new DOE report and how key technologies can quickly and affordably expand system capacity while avoiding many of the planning and permitting challenges that face new transmission line projects.
This event is made possible by funding from the Clean Grid Initiative (CGI).

Great discussion, I learned a lot. Louise White chose excellent examples to frame today’s possibles in context with needed longer timeline items. Her point about realigning power company incentives to favor better customer outcomes was a good one. More free market short term profits without starving the needed future capacities.

I know they say you should never judge a book by its cover, but I’ll be honest, it’s hard to take this discussion about important policy issues seriously when the moderator is rocking a bitchin mullet. “Are the scissors broken in your house son?” Final review: 9/10 Good discussion, great haircut

#45 ❤😂🎉😢 as we fade out natural gas, electricity will be in high demand for utility domestic Smart appliances, cooking, cleaning, etc.

Electric power demand has been flat for 20 years while economic growth was around 35% with No explanation or understanding of how this economic growth without increased electrical demand was accomplished. An example is Nvidia explaining to all that will listen that their newer AI chips are far more processing efficient reducing demand, eV charging at night after 10pm adding immense battery capacity to grid to absorb curtailed wind capacity, or was it LED street lights that reduced demand, or did national energy code requirements like computer control of commercial buildings better shutting off a/c, lights,etc., at night; ok too long but I could go on.
