What does the future of electricity look like in the wake of major
climate policy packages including the Inflation Reduction Act and the
Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act? EPRI
and Resources for the Future (RFF) will explore recent
findings
and the latest power sector modeling.
Join us on Wednesday, February 15 for this
RFF Live virtual
event
featuring opening remarks by EPA Principal
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Air and Radiation, Joseph
Goffman, followed by a panel of energy sector modelers from
RFF, EPRI, EPA, and
the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Panelists will present recent
findings on how the electricity sector is expected to transform in the
coming decades as a result of the IRA,
illuminating a new baseline for the sector.
The U.S. Senate is poised to pass the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a
major landmark for American efforts to address the climate crisis that
would be the most significant climate legislation in U.S. history and
get the country within striking distance of its 2030 emissions reduction
target.
If passed, the package of climate and clean energy investments will have
a tremendous impact on innovation and cost reductions for a whole set of
clean-energy solutions. The investments would help accelerate the U.S.
transition to a clean energy economy and offer Americans a plethora of
savings, health and economic benefits. The bill will also be critical in
making progress toward the nation’s climate goal and show other
countries that the U.S. is still a leader in the fight against climate
change.
Join us for a press
briefing
on August 8, 20222 ET to help distill some of the major takeaways of the
IRA, what it means for the U.S. ambitions to
achieve its 2030 emissions reduction target, and how it may affect the
global climate policy debate in the months ahead.
