Join us for our April 23rd webinar as seasoned Energy Regulator Tim Echols talks with Google’s Michelle Chang about climate, decarbonization strategies and advanced clean electricity technologies. Companies like Google have set ambitious goals around operating on 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2030 and are leading the way with partnerships and collaborative efforts to enable cleaner grids in the places they operate. They work in partnership with utilities and peer companies to support advanced clean electricity technologies, which are critical to both grid reliability and grid decarbonization. Georgia is a leader in working with these companies and Tim Echols will bring insight into the unique opportunity Georgia and other states have in these partnerships, including advanced nuclear and hydrogen.
