Gridlock or Growth? Securing the Infrastructure for America's Thriving Economy
A Special Two-Part Session: Competitive Policy Debate & Cross-Sector Corporate Action Playbook
Wednesday, September 23 | 3:30-5:00pm | Convene 75 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY
How can we deploy clean energy as fast as possible while keeping affordability for businesses and consumers at the center of the narrative?
Join Us
Transmission build-out and cost allocation are the most significant near-term barriers to that goal, and this two-part arc is built to move attendees from conflict to action: Session 1 surfaces the contested terrain, and Session 2 pivots to a cross-sector corporate action playbook for building the grid at the pace and scale required.
Join our special two-part panel session
Participants will first engage with the tensions at play, then learn about the enabling policies that can unlock our affordable energy future.
Panel 1 - The PJM Bellweather: Who Pays for the Grid We Need? 3:30pm-4:15pm As historic load growth and generation retirements push PJM to a breaking point, who bears the cost of the massive transmission build-out required and how do we prevent regional cost-allocation disputes from undermining affordability and clean energy deployment? |
||
Panel 2 - From Gridlock to Growth: Activating Corporate Voices for Modernized Transmission 4:15pm-5:00pm Join us for an interactive dialogue on the multi-stakeholder collaboration needed to advance a forward-looking policy framework to accelerate the rapid transmission buildout needed to keep pace with surging energy demand. |
