Join the Progressive Policy Institute as we convene a virtual event on improving the siting opportunities for electricity transmission lines on September 14 at 10:00 AM ET. The event will generate a discussion focused on timely and critical questions including:
• What scale of the transmission line expansion is needed to fulfill President Biden’s goal of 100% clean energy from the electric sector by 2035?
• How do America’s current planning, siting and permitting federal and state laws and practices interfere with or enable this expansion?
• What are the prospects of addressing this challenge in the infrastructure bill or other legislative vehicles in Congress?
• What is the proper relationship between federal and state governments on electric transmission line planning?
Panelists:
• Donnie Colston, Director of Utilities, IBEW
• Bob Kump, President of Avangrid
• Sue Tierney, energy analyst and author of recent National Academy of Sciences Report
• Macky McCleary, Energy Consultant and former State of Rhode Island utility regulator
• Bill Parsons, Chief Operating Officer, American Council on Renewable Energy
Moderated By: Paul Bledsoe, Strategic Advisor, PPI
With a SPECIAL MESSAGE from U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper (D-CO)!
