Climate Change, Climate Adaptation, and Your Energy Bill
Join us for an event featuring ERG professor and chair Duncan Callaway and ARE professor and co-director of the Energy Institute at Haas Meredith Fowlie. They will discuss challenges and opportunities for electricity reliability, affordability, and rate design amidst state and federal efforts to decarbonize the electric grid and adapt to the growing threats of climate change. They’ll also talk about some of the ways ERG — which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year — and ARE researchers have contributed to the knowledge and solutions we need to address these challenges. Introduction by Rausser College Dean David Ackerly.
Hosted by Rausser College of Natural Resources
Speakers:
Meredith Fowlie is a professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ARE) and faculty director of the Energy Institute at Haas. She teaches an undergraduate course on the economics of the clean energy transition. She has worked extensively on the economics of energy markets, climate change, and wildfire.
Duncan Callaway is a professor and chair of Energy and Resources Group (ERG), with an affiliate appointment in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and a faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His teaching covers energy systems with a focus on the electrical grid and data science. His research group focuses on emerging energy technologies by quantifying their impacts on power system operations and developing control, optimization and data analysis tools to facilitate their integration into power systems.
