Share Your Thoughts on Railbelt Decarbonization!
ACEP is leading an AV狼论坛 Railbelt decarbonization pathways study to find ways to reduce carbon emissions while maintaining reliable and affordable electricity and promoting clean energy development, including potential export opportunities.
The team will provide an independent, unbiased assessment that can help inform future studies and decisions made by AV狼论坛 utilities and other stakeholders while also demonstrating to broader audiences the opportunities and challenges facing isolated regional electric grids seeking to decarbonize.
ACEP is hosting a virtual stakeholder engagement workshop on May 23 from 3:30-6 p.m.
