Transmission will play an important role in the success of the clean energy transition. From electric vehicle charging to offshore wind, strategic investments in transmission infrastructure are required to meet growing demands and integrate expanding renewable energy sources into the grid.  

North Carolina is home to several companies that are working to create resilient and reliable transmission—and, at this July 27 Cleantech Catalyst event, several will give “spark talks” about their latest developments in transmission. Confirmed speakers include Joshua Kmiec (Director, ScottMadden), Duke Associate Professor Dalia Patino-Echeverri (Gendell Family Associate Professor, Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment), and Gary Rackliffe (VP Market Development and Innovation, Hitachi Energy).

Following these brief presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with speakers and network with other participants.   

This event is hosted by the Research Triangle Cleantech Cluster in partnership with the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability.
