As clean energy sources are increasingly added to the grid and energy demand rises, the transmission systems that carry electricity from where it’s generated to where it’s used must be transformed. A modernized grid not only ensures we can connect new renewable energy sources to communities across the country, but also helps us meet rising energy demand reliably and affordably. Transmission reform is a key step to meet our climate goals and ensure a just transition to a clean energy economy.

We invited a panel of speakers to explore how we need to rethink electricity transmission to create a future with a livable climate, a reliable grid, and affordable energy. Our expert speakers include:

• Paula Cobb, Senior Southeast Regional Policy Manager at Clean Air Task Force
• Beverly Bendix, Manager, Carbon-Free Electricity at RMI
• Anjali Patel, Vice President for Clean Energy at David Gardiner and Associates, Consultant for Americans for a Clean Energy Grid
