WEBINAR: Energy Disruptions and Resilience
Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of grid-threatening weather events, including storms and wildfires, at a time when the grid itself is undergoing significant changes. These challenges require decisionmakers to understand the impacts of energy system failures, how to mitigate them, and how to increase overall grid resilience. At this event, several researchers will discuss their ongoing projects aimed at these issues and share their initial findings. We will also hear from the Deputy Executive Director for Energy and Climate Policy at the California Public Services Commission about the Commission's efforts to promote reliable and resilient energy in California.
Speakers will include:
- Dr. Duncan Callaway - University of California, Berkeley
- Dr. Mikhail Chester - Arizona State University
- Dr. Erica Fischer - Oregon State University
- Leuwam Tesfai - California Public Utilities Commission
This webinar is part of a series highlighting environmental and energy research projects funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
