Join us in Chicago for a lively panel discussion on the exciting Future of the Grid, where experts will discuss how the grid will evolve.

Start with the end in mind. As the Chicago region decarbonizes we will consume less fossil fuels and demand a lot more electricity. A 2022 ComEd study on the impact of decarbonization concluded that the Illinois electric grid will need to double in size to meet peak demand. This bombshell finding raises many urgent questions: Where is the energy going to come from and how do we pay for it? What about energy conservation? Hydrogen? Nuclear? Storage?

The panelists:

• Ryan Burg, Principal Business Analyst, Smart Grid and Innovation, ComEd

• Mark Nelson, Managing Director Radiant Energy Group

• Angela Tovar, Commissioner, Department of Environment, City of Chicago (moderator)
