To arrest climate change is no longer an option, but a must to save the planet for future generations. Key to doing so is to transition off fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, and to do so without tanking economies and destroying our very way of life.
The energy industry sits at the epicenter of change because energy makes everything else run. It is the geo-political axis around which the modern world turns. And inside the energy industry is electrification and our vast power grids. Electricity generation leads the list of sectors that matter most in terms of decarbonization, states the Yale School of the Environment. Like it or not, utilities face vast and fundamental decisions on how to transform themselves while delivering ever more power to ever more people without making energy unaffordable or unavailable

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
