The Energy Foundation Minnesota team developed a series of six 60-minute, Zoom-based briefings on electric load growth. The briefings are envisioned as a 101-level point-of-entry for those who are looking for an introduction to the topic and deeper dives on five key solutions.
Session 6: Grid Solutions for Load Growth - How MN Can Lead
Minnesota is already working to prepare our electric grid to reach 100% clean electricity by 2040. With the potential for electric demand to grow between now and then, the state needs to keep upgrading our transmission and distribution systems to create a cleaner, more efficient, more resilient, and more affordable grid. In this briefing, Clean Grid Alliance will get us up-to-speed on the improvements we need to manage growing electric demand.
