Investing in our energy grid secures reliable, resilient electricity and saves money in the long run. However, state policies working to accelerate these investments — including modernizing our transmission grid or expanding it to connect to new clean energy resources — are often met with concerns over energy affordability. At a time when electricity prices are front of mind for many advocates, policymakers, and constituents, we need to connect the dots between transforming the grid and energy affordability.
We’ve invited a panel of experts to discuss best practices and lessons learned on advocating for transmission and grid investments while addressing ratepayer concerns about energy affordability.
Our expert panel includes:
- Abby Watson, President of The Groundwire Group
- Zach Zimmerman, Facilitator of the Advancing Modern Powerlines (AMP) Coalition and Research and Policy Manager for Grid Strategies
