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!
