ACEG Transmission Time Webinar: Keeping the Lights On Strengthening America’s Grid Against Extreme Weather
August 6 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
As extreme weather intensifies across the United States and the world, the vulnerability of our aging grid is on full display. The heatwave that gripped much of the Eastern U.S. has pushed electricity demand and prices to peak levels, while recent blackouts in Louisiana highlight the consequences when the grid fails under pressure.
Interregional transmission—the ability to move power across regions—remains one of the most effective yet underutilized tools to enhance grid reliability, lower costs, and reduce the risk of blackouts during climate-driven emergencies. This webinar will explore how building a stronger, more connected grid can protect communities, stabilize energy markets, and ensure reliable power during extreme heat, winter storms, and other severe weather events.
Featured speakers include:
- Andy Kowalczyk – SREA
- John Bernecker – NYSERDA
- Louisiana Commissioner Davante Lewis
- Gretchen Kershaw – Grid Strategies
