Modernizing the U.S. Energy System: Opportunities, Challenges, and the Path Forward Find out more about the briefings in this series below: June 04 Towards the Energy System of Tomorrow June 11 Modernizing America’s Transmission Network June 25 Leveraging Grid Edge Integration for Resilience & Decarbonization Our live webcasts will be streamed at www.eesi.org/livecast The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to join us for a briefing series about the climate benefits of modernizing the nation’s energy system. The energy system is rapidly transforming, especially at the “grid edge” where “smart” building technologies, electric vehicles, and distributed energy generation combine and interact in new ways. These innovations provide opportunities to re-envision the nation’s energy system and how we use, store, and move energy around the country. They also create new ways to increase the resilience of people, communities, and the system itself without increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Briefing panelists will discuss policy opportunities such as a federal energy efficiency resource standard, state level efforts, and the nexus between buildings, transportation, energy storage, and the grid.
