We're excited to share we recently submitted our Electric Sector Modernization Plan (the Future Grid Plan), to the Grid Modernization Advisory Council. The Future Grid Plan outlines the critical investments needed in the Massachusetts electric distribution system over the next five years (and beyond) to meet the Commonwealth’s nation-leading climate change, clean energy, and equity goals. As part of our commitment to delivering a fair, affordable, and clean energy future for all its customers, our Plan outlines a comprehensive and flexible path designed to expand and upgrade the current electric distribution grid, ensure reliability, enable increased electrification, and empower smart customer choices and the transition away from a fossil-based economy. 👉 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ePrPwZqm

In January, Illinois' largest utility released ComEd 2030 – their roadmap for providing clean power for more than 4 million customers.   For CEO Gil C. Quiniones and the company, that means hitting big marks like enabling almost 2 million EVs by 2030, $1 billion in energy assistance for customers, integrating DERs, and procuring more clean power. If done right, ComEd's path would be a big win for the state's clean energy goals, and energy equity in the region. Before joining the utility in 2021, Gil tackled problems of energy and sustainability in another major American city, New York. He served as a part of Mayor Bloomberg's administration working on clean energy and climate policy, and held roles at ConEd and New York Power Authority. Now he's spearheading Chicago's energy transition, with an emphasis on equity for the city's underserved communities. This week on #WithGreatPower from GridX, Inc., Brad Langley speaks with Gil Quiniones, CEO of ComEd, about taking into account customer affordability and equity as they move ahead with their low-carbon plan. 🎧 Listen: link.chtbl.com/CKmdKv0b #utilities #utilityindustry #electricity #cleanenergy #energytransition #Illinois #lowcarbon #chicago #energy #powergrid #cleanpower #climatesolutions #podcast
