Ahmed Mousa of Galileo Group, Inc.

This talk will outline the characteristics of 100% clean and renewable energy systems, and how we can prepare for them, considering the guidelines of IEEE Planet Positive. Utilities must supply critical leadership in addressing climate change, sustainability, socioeconomic issues, and environmental stewardship. The transition to a sustainable future requires balancing today’s short-term needs with future planning for 100% clean and renewable energy systems. Issues include global collaboration, the role of inverter-based resources, climate change mitigation, large load vs. energy efficiency/load management and the future role of energy control centers. Supporting equity and inclusion mandates planning for rural electrification and for providing affordable power to disadvantaged communities.
