THE CLIMATE RESILIENT GRID a forum on energy, climate, and the grid

The Climate Resilient Grid: A Forum on Energy, Climate, and the Grid brings together thought leaders from industry, government, and academia to work side by side with climate experts. Together we explore how climate science and data can

inform energy challenges related to integrating renewables into the grid. Raising the level of renewables requires efficient transmission lines and new systems of microgrids, which in turn requires climate data, analytics, and environmental intelligence.

Featured speakers:• Alexander MacDonald, Spire Global, Former Deputy

Assistant Administrator, NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research and Director NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory

• Bryan Hannegan, National Renewable Energy Laboratory

• Energy industry leaders from Duke Energy, SCANA, National Grid and many others
