Building the Grid of the Future

​Join PowerLines for breakfast and a timely conversation about the future of the grid. Along with leading companies, startups, policymakers, investors, and experts, we'll be diving into the technology and regulatory challenges facing the grid now, as well as the policy and market solutions that can unlock value out of our grid infrastructure. We'll consider how smart policy and technology innovation can ensure responsible infrastructure development, improve grid reliability, while bringing down electricity costs for all consumers. In a period of rapidly growing electricity demand and skyrocketing utility bills, now is the moment to reimagine and rebuild the grid of the future.
