SUMMARY:Grid-System Strategies for Resilient Cooling
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. electric grid is straining to keep up with rising demand for electricity\, creating potential risks to communities’ cooling systems in the face of intensifying extreme heat. This challenge presents an opportunity for policymakers to proactively identify potential vulnerabilities in energy systems’ ability to sustain safe indoor temperatures. \nThis webinar will explore grid system technologies and strategies for resilient cooling. Participants will hear directly from experts on how they prepare the electric grid for increased energy demand and ensure its reliability during extreme heat events as well as the policies needed to scale up these interventions. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand Grid Vulnerabilities: Clarify the current state of grid systems in the U.S. and the needs for extreme heat preparedness. Define resilient cooling as a solution and what it looks like for communities and energy officials.\nExamine solutions for Grid Resilience: Explore how grid-enhancing technologies and demand-side management can prepare electric grid for increased energy demand and ensure its reliability during extreme heat events.\nClarify Roles for Utilities and Policymakers: Learn about the existing policy tools that utilities and policymakers have to advance grid resilience solutions that offer benefits for resilient cooling\nExplore Opportunities for Action: Hear from energy and utility experts on real-world examples of policy implementation\n\n  \nThis webinar is part of the Facing the Heat Webinar Series hosted by NIBS and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) which explores the intersection of risk mitigation\, building performance\, energy reliability\, and policy innovation to address the growing risks of heat in our communities.
