SUMMARY:NEWIEE & CPES: Meeting CT's New Carbon-Free Power Goals: What's the Role for Peaker Plants?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1661210618080{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nJoin the New England Women in Energy and the Environment (NEWIEE) and the Connecticut Power and Energy Society (CPES) for our eighth annual joint event on Thursday\, September 22! This panel discussion will surround peaker plants and their role as Connecticut works towards a carbon-free future. \nPeaker plants serve a unique role in our current grid by providing key reliability services. However\, many peakers emit pollutants at a higher rate than baseload plants. The majority are located in communities with a higher percentage of low-income households\, and peakers disproportionately impact communities of color. As Connecticut acts on its commitment to a decarbonized energy future\, what are our alternatives for filling the role currently played by fossil peakers? What are the business\, policy\, infrastructure\, market and equity pieces that need to fall into place to make this transition? Our panelists are all regional leaders who have been actively tackling these questions. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1661211163387{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nPanelists\n\nAlicia Barton\, Chief Executive Officer at FirstLight Power\nTracy Babbidge\, Chief of the Bureau of Air Management at the CT DEEP\nKatherine Rougeux\, Business Development Manager at the New York Power Authority\nSharon Lewis\, Executive Director at the CT Coalition on Environmental & Economic Justice\n\nModerated by:\n\nAnne George\, VP of External Affairs at ISO New England and former Connecticut DPUC Commissioner\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator color=”custom” el_width=”30″ accent_color=”#189c8e”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1661210861421{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nIn Person & Virtual Event at UCONN School of Law \n[/vc_column_text][mk_button size=”large” url=”https://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07ejc7f35040ddceca&oseq=&c=&ch=” target=”_blank” align=”center” button_custom_width=”350″]Register Here[/mk_button][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false” align=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1661211570590{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nSponsored by: \n[/vc_column_text][mk_clients style=”column” column=”1″ count=”1″ autoplay=”false” clients=”8867″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
