Innovative Alternative Financing Models To Promote Transmission

​Join the National Audubon Society and Clean Air Task Force for a panel discussion and Q&A hosted by Crowell & Moring LLP on alternative financing models to accelerate deployment of new transmission and grid upgrades. Transmission is essential to delivering the clean energy needed to meet climate and energy affordability and resiliency challenges head on, but for too long the question of “who pays?” and status quo financing strategies have stalled progress on much-needed grid infrastructure and upgrades nationwide. While cost allocation remains a hotly-debated topic in federal policy debate around transmission, other models are quietly being deployed across the nation to break through this grid lock and enable a more affordable energy system. Join us as we hear from experts, practitioners, and developers about models, both proposed and already working, that might finally allow our grid to catch up with the quickly growing demand for new transmission, more energy, and lower-carbon resources.
