Join the AEE Columbia River Chapter on May 5th for our next Energy Engineering Forum, sponsored by Energy Trust of Oregon.

With HB 2021 set to become effective in Oregon this month, all three West Coast states have set binding 100% clean electricity objectives. Additional states and local jurisdictions across the western US are following closely. These policies will increase investment in wind and solar electricity, hasten the retirement of fossil fuel power generation, and usher in a new era of technology innovation on the power grid. However, many large questions remain open about how this will all play out, particularly regarding resource adequacy – ensuring the grid has enough of the right kind of resources to remain reliable. This talk will not answer those questions but will explore some of the key factors that are set to shape the future clean energy resource mix in the Pacific Northwest.

This event is free to attend. Members of the local AEE Columbia River Chapter will receive certificates of attendance and professional development hours. If you’re not already a member but would like to join, click here for more info and a 50% discount code.
