More about the event:
What do we need to know, to be effective advocates, about the energy system? How can we all work together to ensure our communities are moving toward sustainability? Of the many complexities of the electricity grid, what do green building advocates need to address as we push for change on behalf of our mission?
The obstacles to a resolution to net metering and energy procurment seem to center around the cost of solar in Massachusetts, yet there is currently no action on the Net Metering Task Force (NMTF) recommendation to study the monetary costs and benefits of distributed generation solar.
We will have four panelists leading the discussion:
- David Colton, Easton Town Administrator
- Charles Harak, National Consumer Law
- Tim Roughan, National Grid
- Matt Shortsleeve, Solect Energy
This event, this Thursday, 2/25, will be held at 50 Milk St, Boston, MA, in the Start-up Institute Area, from 8:30am – 10:00am.
