The study evaluates how a 2040 grid could perform with a shift to largely renewable resources and a substantial increase in demand associated with electrification of the heating and transportation sectors. \nThe briefing is intended to make the findings of this report available to any interested members of the public. The session will be recorded and posted after the event for the convenience of those who cannot join on the date of the briefing. Please see instructions below on how to register and obtain information to access the virtual meeting. The audience will have opportunities to submit questions via chat during the virtual session. \nIn addition\, a document summarizing the findings of the study was recently posted to the ISO website. \nBackground \nThe study investigates several potential scenarios for a future grid\, developed by stakeholders. The resulting analysis produced takeaways in the areas of energy adequacy\, resource and demand flexibility\, and resource mix diversity that may help inform decision making as the region continues to move towards a transformed grid. The briefing\, held via WebEx\, is free and open to the general public. Registration is required to obtain the information needed to log into the webinar. \nThe final report\, 2021 Economic Study: Future Grid Reliability is available on the ISO’s website and a short summary is available on the ISO’s Newswire. A summary document is also available. \nIn 2020\, regional stakeholders requested the study to assess and discuss the future state of the regional power system in light of current state energy and environmental policies. Beginning in April 2020 and culminating in March 2021\, the ISO met regularly with state and industry stakeholders to discuss and define a scope of work for the initiative. \nThe 2021 Economic Study: Future Grid Reliability evaluates the operational and reliability challenges of a future grid where supply resources are largely renewable and demand has increased substantially due to electrification of the heating and transportation sectors. \nThe October 21 briefing will highlight the findings of the study\, including the operational and reliability challenges that were identified and will need to be addressed in the future grid\, and possible ways to meet those needs. \nRegistration \nTo register for the briefing\, please visit ISO-TEN\, the online registration site for the ISO New England Training and Events Network. Information to access the webinar will be sent to those who register through ISO-TEN. If you are new to ISO-TEN\, you will need to click the button to Register for an Account.

While cleaning up the transportation sector is a priority for states in the Northeast\, it will require a massive amount of new infrastructure deployment and extensive retrofits to existing infrastructure in order to transform it. NECEC and AEG will convene leaders from the public and private sectors across the Northeast to share lessons learned\, pain points and successes to build consensus on how we can wrap our arms around the enormous task of building a clean transportation sector. In particular\, we will look at the recent plans made by all states for public EV charging stations on Interstate highways and what infrastructure (charging and other technologies) is needed for both public and private entities and heavy duty electric truck fleets. \nWe also will delve into the community level perspective to assess how well regional plans address local needs and how to ensure this mass transition is done equitably.

Electrification with heat pumps has been proposed as a broadly applicable solution\, and we are starting to see significant heat pump deployment. However electrification may not be a viable solution in every case\, and we may need to consider other pathways like geothermal\, RNG and/or green-hydrogen based solutions. \nAt this event NECEC will convene leaders in the built environment along with technology experts and developers to discuss the pros and cons of each solution. This will cover a range of low carbon options utilizing many technologies such as (but not limited to) Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and District Energy. Participants will also hear from local community representatives about their challenges and which solutions might deliver the best results for EJ communities URL:https://newiee.org/event/nececs-emerging-trends-series-decarbonizing-building-heating/ LOCATION:MA CATEGORIES:Friends of NEWIEE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230119T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230119T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T152323 CREATED:20230111T035427Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230111T035427Z UID:20266-1674129600-1674133200@newiee.org SUMMARY:BU IMAP's Corporate Carbon Risk in Utilities DESCRIPTION:What is the risk associated with carbon targets? \nThis research project will help investors determine the risk associated with corporations achieving their future carbon targets.\nAs corporations and investment firms both commit to targets for reducing their carbon emissions\, there is growing desire to understand the risk associated with these future target statements. Whether or not a firm achieves its emissions targets can not only place its reputation at risk\, but also that of those along it’s supply chain\, including their investors. Current and future policies aimed at pricing climate externalities\, mean that corporate climate performance can have a material impact on financial performance. Yet\, the lack of reliable metrics to capture these risks pose severe challenges. This project aims to develop a novel methodology to predict the likelihood of achieving future corporate carbon targets. It will also publish an open database of the resulting risk measures for those companies that are  analyzed.

She reflects on what it takes to fit in all the pieces of our lives without feeling like we’ll topple over from the effort of trying to balance everything. Abrams “rejects” the idea of work-life balance. Balance is impossible! ​Consider how every day something may happen to upset your carefully balanced plan. It might be your child coming down with the flu or an unexpected opportunity to expand your role at work. ​Abrams believes instead\, on discovering what matters most to you\, and then creating a plan that aligns with your priorities. \nIn this hands-on workshop\, you will have the chance to reflect on how you are spending your time\, to notice what you are making time for\, and what is left out. ​We will provide you time for solo-reflection to consider what you’d like more of in your life–whether it is more time to invest in your personal relationships\, professional development\, health\, or self-care. ​You will then move into small group discussions\, led by professional facilitators\, where you can share ideas on how to make your lives less stressful and more meaningful. You will leave with a better sense of the steps you can take tomorrow to design a life that aligns with what is most important to you. \nThe goal is for you to leave with a renewed sense of energy and excitement about realistic ways you can design a life that is more fulfilling\, and less stressful. The event will provide you the tools to help you make the decisions that work best for you. The answers are not the same for each of us. We generally don’t make the time to ask ourselves these questions. This workshop will be a great way to start your year! ​Consider it a gift of time for yourself\, where you can also support other members of the WEST community\, to help them bring more delight into their lives as well.
