While renewable energy use is at an all-time high globally, a modernized grid could enable more. Duke University Ph.D. student Tyler Norris told Marketplace by APM that the biggest challenge in the U.S. is coordinating states, cities, counties and utilities to invest, expand and update the grid at the same time. https://lnkd.in/eeYjkg-g ? Norris, James B. Duke Fellow at the Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment and former vice president of development at Cypress Creek Renewables, spoke last week at a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission workshop about how "flexible interconnection" could more quickly bringing solar energy to the grid while reducing costs. Read his pre-workshop comments, as well as a case study he led for Duke's GRACE Lab, directed by Dalia Pati?o-Echeverri: https://lnkd.in/et6m3HDe ?

Elizabeth Losos, Lydia Olander, and Tibor Vegh of Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability (and Duke University Climate Leader in Residence Francis Bouchard) appreciated the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with attendees at the CIRCAD - Center for Innovation in Risk-analysis for Climate Adaptation and Decision-making Summit this week!?
Day one of the CIRCAD - Center for Innovation in Risk-analysis for Climate Adaptation and Decision-making summit was a high energy deep dive into 8 potential research topics. We also heard sage words from one of the leading regulatory voices on climate change, Mike Kreidler, and explored #radicalinnovation with Margaret Peloso , James Done and (off camera via zoom) Ekhosuehi Iyahen. Great content + great participants = great meeting.
