Opportunities To Support Electrification, Decarbonization, and Resilience
In 2023, the GRC hosted a series of Boston Grid Modernization meetings moderated by Janet Gail Besser and Dr. Jonathan Raab to identify how key actors – including Eversource and other utilities, the City of Boston, and large energy users – can work together to advance electrification, decarbonization, and resilience. The goals of the three meetings were to achieve greater understanding of each other’s current plans and planning processes; identify areas where improvement is needed and where collaboration or constructive change would yield benefits for all; and structure ways to work together to improve planning and implementation for better outcomes. The report captures the key discussion points and next steps from this meeting series.
